Take-off vetoes
After successfully completing pre-flight checks the status LED becomes a solid
green to indicate that the drone is ready for take-off. At this point the
swinglet CAM
continues to monitor its sensors and battery level. If at any point the drone detects
a condition that prevents it from beginning the automatic take-off procedure it
displays a Take-off veto in
eMotion
and the status LED changes to a blue pulse.
Once the Take-off veto is cleared the status LED returns to a solid green colour to
indicate that the drone is ready for take-off.
Table 4 presents all the Take-off vetoes that may occur and possible actions to re-
move the veto. If a veto persists after performing the suggested action, we recom-
mend you report the problem by following the instructions in section ‘Reporting
a problem with your
swinglet CAM
’ on page 147.
