Hey guys!
Here is the logs from HealthyDrones. It looks a little sloppy to follow but just for the record, there are essentially a couple missions happening here. The time the mission that crashed began and ended, it started at R and ends on X (everything after that are warnings of me trying to get it once it hit the tree). I had apparently longer than I thought when I got the first "entering altitude limit mode" or whatever that error was and all I was doing was paying attention that it was off course from the set waypoints but I didn't realize that it was off course, FOR SURE, until I saw it heading to the tip of the tree. I should have realized when (if you watch the video) you can see on the part of the mission where I am setting the waypoints as shown on the video I uploaded in this thread, but on the final running mission, I had had to do a quick maneuver to have it avoid the two trees I had if fly between just maybe 30 seconds before the turn that headed toward the tree it hit. I figured it was wind or something, I had flown around here many times and have never had it give me any of these errors and maybe was flying with too much confidence?
The "enter altitude limit mode" is something I have never seen in all my years of flying and I didn't know what it meant or what it was doing when I got that warning. I am wondering if the board was confused by the valley? I really have no idea and any input would be greatly appreciated.
Again, for all intents and purposes, the WP mission began at R (that was when it was near me and I began the just recorded WP mission for the second time on this flight), before that I sometimes switch to S or Atti mode to get it back to my original location once I see the WP mission is generally what I want. So at R the mission is initiated and it begins at S, it flies without warning (but I can tell from the video that it's off course although I didn't really notice it by video at the time until again the two trees which was right before the error at T). At T I start to pay attention but still think it's flying a safe WP mission and that that warning was nothing more than a warning. So at that point I'm paying even more attention than normal. At about U and V it makes the rather sharp turn to come home and I'm thinking "something is not right, let's get the bird home and check out everything) but between W and X (46 seconds) is when it I see it heading to the tree (I have to check my video and flight summary to verify this) but at that point I see it heading to the tree and it won't respond to anything and stupid me, I'm still thinking it's following the WP mission as I often do fly-bys of tree tops and building tops but I didn't remember setting one there but by the time I realize it's going to hit the VERY tip of the tree, it was too late and I could not save it. X marks the stop of the tree hit and that was it's resting place until I received it the next day. They property owners wouldn't let me on the property until the next morning when I had a city scissor lift ready to go get it for me but it had fallen to the ground by that point.
Look pretty cut and dry if I only understood why it was a) off course from the WPs and b) why it entered this "altitude limited mode". As you can see, the altitude was plenty high and that was from where I took off, it was actually much higher if you consider the valley. Help?
By the way, I am rendering out the video that I uploaded earlier again so you can see with better context as it goes through the two trees what happened and then of course the crash. I will upload it as soon as it's done processing on YT right now. Thanks in advance.
