Litchi return to home.

[Flying Aussie]

Hi, I just purchased the iOS Litchi app for my P3 Standard but don't see an on screen return to home button. Is toggling S2 switch on the controller the only way to activate the return to home?

 

[With The Birds]

Yes. Same failsafe options as the GO app has registered when AC connected.

This is what my Litchi screen looks like.
The H at centre left is the on-screen home button.

That H icon is home lock when you activate it in F toggle mode and pull down on the right stick whereever it is at it will fly back to the h from any direction just by pulling down on the right stick

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but when Im using the Litchi app and switch to the F position and hit the H button on my screen and pull down on the right stick my P3 standard will fly back home but it doss not adjust to the RTH altitude that I have set. Am I doing something wrong?

That is home lock it is not return to home function those are two separate things

Thanks for the info. I'm new to the drone world. How do you use the RTH for the P3 standard on the Litchi app

FYI. That isn't the return to home button. It actuates the Home Course mode for flying in the direction to or from the registered home point.

There should be a hard button on your controller. Not the on/off power button, the other one. THAT'S the RTH button.

I'm flying the Phantom 3 standard and I don't think it has a dedicated RTH button on the controller. My controller has a slide switch to turn it on. I wish it did have a that button, I would feel a lot safer. I have had it Return when the signal was lost due to flying too far. But I believe that is programmed into the drone, I was wondering it there is switch or a way to get it to fly up to the designated altitude and then RTH. I did switch the controller off today and it did the RTH procedure. Just curious and like to learn the easy way instead of the expensive way. Guess I better get the insurance!!!

 

[GrammatonxXXxCleric]

Then you just found your RTH button.

 

[Flying Aussie]

That is not a good way to activate the RTH. By toggling the left toggle switch down then up is the correct way to activate the RTH

It's mentioned on page 11 of the manual:

Tap the H in the DJI GO app or toggle the S2 switch on the remote controller back and forth at least twice
to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will first ascend to the Return-to-Home altitude, then return to the last
recorded Home Point if a GPS signal is available. During the RTH procedure, you may use the remote
controller to guide the aircraft around obstacles.

RTFM ... from the Litchi manual ...

"When using a Phantom 3 Standard or Phantom 3 4K (not to be confused with Phantom 3 Pro), be aware that the aircraft will not return to home automatically if signal is lost while Litchi has some or all control of the aircraft, it will hover instead. The following flight modes are affected: VR with Immersive/Joystick Head Tracking active, Follow, Focus and Track. All other aircraft models and flight modes are unaffected by this issue. "

Besides the misinformation in this thread, killing the entire connection will elicit RTH -BUT- without any controller input available obviously. Read about RTH and the S2 switch in the manual as it pertains to the Standard.

S1 switch flip it up and down two times and it will return home

Flip your S1 switch up and down a couple times and it will return home
