Starling 2 - failure when entering offboard mode in Starling 2
-
Hello,
After fresh IMU and gyro calibration, and with successful check of VIO (via VOXL portal) Starling 2 is able to arm in position mode and fly in position mode rather well. However, as soon as switching to offboard mode (in this case to test follow_tag) flight becomes unstable: drone starts to very quick climbing straight up in the vertical direction.
It seems this kind of failure (drone starts climbing up fast straight in the vertical direction) seems a relatively common failure mode when going to offboard mode. Are there any suggestions of what can be causing this ? VIO has been tested multiple times and looks solid. Drone is able to arm in position mode.
Please let me know your suggestions. Thanks. -
@Hector-Gutierrez have you seen this is any other mode? I observed something similar in position mode, but no additional sensor calibration was done. I was manually trying to descend, but the Starling2 kept climbing. At first I thought it was pilot error (likely due to the spring loaded throttle stick), but later it became clear that the climb was not commanded. @Moderator
