I've just started using Autopilot and flew my first waypoint mission. I've read the entire Autopilot flight school manual already. I understand that if you lose signal the DJI RTH kicks in. The waypoint mission I set up is one I've flown with Litchi beforehand without any issues. However it didn't go as smoothly with Autopilot:
- I lost signal three times. The first couple of times it recovered after less than a second, still the drone stopped both times. The final time it lost signal it didn't recover. I had to load DJI Go 4 and fly home manually.
It's left me with a few questions:
- Does anyone else notice a weaker signal when using Autopilot as opposed to DJI GO 4 or Litchi?
- Do you set your Autopilot waypoint missions to continue after signal loss? Litchi does this, but if you do it with Autopilot you lose lots of the functionality that makes it unique.
I know Autopilot uses it's on SDK which is why it always needs a signal, but if the range is so dramatically reduced I think I'd pick Litchi over it most times, which is a shame.
I also don't like trusting RTH should the signal be lost, I'd far rather trust the rest of the waypoint mission I have carefully setup than leave the drone to find it's own way home.
What do you think?
