1200-1800μS

1801-2000μS

Function

Return to Home

Auto Circling

3. Return to Home (RTH): No matter what mode your autopilot is in, once RTH mode is

enabled, the plane will initialize RTH (Return to Home). Upon reaching RTH, the
aircraft will initiate a circling holding pattern.

(Panda has 50m altitude protection

limited,if the switch point altitude below 50m,Panda will automatic climb to 50m.)

4. Auto Circling: No matter in which mode, once Circling Mode is enabled, the plane will

perform flight holding pattern by circling the current waypoint immediately. The circle
radius is determined by the circle radius you have set. (The default value of the circle
radius is 80 meters when autopilot is enabled.)

(Panda has 50m altitude protection

limited,if the switch point altitude below 50m,Panda will automatic climb to 50m.)

5. Automatic Take-off (Idle): In this mode the autopilot is deactivated. You have full

control over your aircraft.

Communication Debugging

1. Turn on your computer, and run the ground station software (GCS).
2. Turn on the adapter board power supply, the adapter plate light will flash slowly.
3. Select the correct communications port from GCS software. Baud Rate is19200.
4. Turn ON your RC Transmitter.
5. Turn ON the autopilot power.

6. If everything is connected correctly, you will see the received telemetry data through the

ground station software, the pressure altitude should be 0 meters (Note: Auto-Initialization

initial boot height is 0 meters).

7. Move your rudder control on the RC transmitter, you will see the rudder output through the

rudder display table. This means the ground station has connected properly with the
autopilot.
