Maybe there are a few Autopilot users here that could offer some suggestions?
When I engage Autopilot on a Waypoint mission, Autopilot acts like it is engaging fine. The video starts as specified. But it never executes the first move to the initial waypoint.
I've tried starting the mission from the ground, props running and not running, and also from a hover.
Although the flight dashboard shows it as engaged and the timer is counting up, the status shows "RC Override". I'm not sure if this means it thinks I'm overriding the control from the RC? I'm not, I'm completely hands off.
I had Autopilot working for me a few months ago, but I haven't used it for a while. It's of course a few versions later for Autopilot and the DJI firmware, but as far as I can recall I'm doing the same things. I'm following all the Autopilot docs and checklists that I can find. FWIW, I fly all the time with DJI Go, so there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the P3 or RC.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions on what might cause the engage not to start the mission, or about the RC Override status, it would be appreciated. I'm really beating my head against it now.
Also, if anyone knows of an active Autopilot forum or thread anywhere, that would also be cool.
Thanks,
Paul
