Is there a way to see the Phantom perform auto home, like it should do in failsafe, without forcing it into failsafe by turning off the Tx, for example?
Yes... follow these steps: (geek solution tested) :ugeek:
1) Ge a buddy for making telephone coordination
2) Unmount the 4 propellers (don't like flyaways)
3) Turn on TX as normal procedure (here your could begin to film phantom).
4) Power on Phantom in an open field and wait for full satellite GPS lock, Home Lock Record... etc.
5) When get GREEN flash LED only, start motors and leave them on at low speed, as if you where hovering (flying)
6) Now your buddy must drive away (by car) carrying the TX on (you keeps talking by telephone to your buddy)
7) Some place far from phantom (depending on blocks, trees, distance) your TX will lost communication.
8) You will nottice that on phantom. Alert to your buddy for comeback. Phantom will begin RTH failsafe (motors will speed up ...)
9) When your buddy return to your place set ATTI mode on TX (for regain control). Test moving joysticks until phantom increase-decrease motor speed.
10) Perform the "LAND" procedure and shut off motors then shut off TX. (here you can stop filming).
Now you can enjoy the video and full test safely if your phantom activates RTH failsafe. This method is tested and works great. Phantom "thinks" is returning home but really TX is comming near, so thats all. :ugeek:
