I recently discovered from a thread on here (and verified that it's in the manual but I'd forgotten it) that litchi (or also I think DJI go) will continue to orbit a POI if the link with the controller is lost - that makes sense, since if the drone has gone behind something it's orbiting then it'll come back into signal on the other side. If signal isn't regained my understanding is that it will continue until critical battery (10% by default) then land wherever it is at the time.
I'm interested to properly understand what will happen on a waypoint mission. As I understand it, the mission will continue, but I believe that all changes in speed, heading and gimbal tilt are sent from the controller as the mission runs, so for example, if most of the mission is being flown at cruising speed, then signal is lost during a 2mph slow section, will the drone attempt to continue the rest of the mission at 2mph? I believe it will.
What happens during a waypoint mission when battery gets to the point where DJI Go would initiate an auto-RTH? Say I need 40% to return home, when the drone gets to that level will it initiate an RTH if it's running a litchi waypoint mission but is disconnected from the controller?
If it won't, what will it do? Continue the mission until it gets to critical battery then land wherever that happens to be?
