Info / Funktion

A GPS system on the copter is required for the GPS function ComingHome (CH).

The ComingHome function enables the MikroKopter to automatically fly back to the starting point (HomePosition). And that from any distance!

The copter uses the start position for this. This GPS position is stored anew each time the motors are restarted.

To be able to use this function:

  • a free 3-way switch is required on the remote control.
    This is assigned a free channel (e.g. channel 6)

  • the GPS function is activated in the KopterTool and assigned to the same channel (see GPS setting)

The 3-way switch then has the following switch positions / functions:

  • OFF - No function

  • Middle - PositionHold (PH) function ON

  • ON - ComingHome (CH) function ON

If the 3-way switch is switched from the OFF or middle position (PH) to the ON position in flight, the copter flies automatically back to the home position at the current altitude.
If an altitude is entered in the settings under "ComingHome altitude" (see GPS setting), the copter rises to this set altitude during the return flight. This can be useful for flying over obstacles on an automatic return flight.

If the control stick for "Nick" or "Roll" is moved during the automatic return flight, the ComingHome function is overwritten with the control commands from the sticks. For example, you can fly around an obstacle.
If you let go of the control sticks for "Nick" and "Roll" again, the ComingHome function is automatically activated again and the copter flies to the home position.
