Return to Home (RTH);
Automatic Take-off (Idle);
Auto Circling ;
1. You can set Channel 6 to a 3-position switch to select the Special Flight Modes.
2. The middle position of your three position switch is ―idle mode‖ which means no special
flight modes are active:
Pulse width of CH6
1000-1199μS
1200-1800μS
1801-2000μS
Function
Return to Home
Idle
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.
