Hi,

maybe we should set a higher default and let people choose an appropriate lower one?

So that at least nothing bad happens if you have a lot of vibrations...

I was also wondering if this is always enabled? At quick glance it looks like the DetectGroundEvent checking the acceleration and setting autopilot_detect_ground is only called if you are using FAILSAFE_GROUND_DETECT?

Cheers, Felix

Hello,

I'm using it all the time. I even have undetected landing when it is too soft on grass.
To have it working correctly, you need to have a low level of vibration in normal flight, otherwise the noise can be seen as a landing since the detection is based on acceleration.
You can set a higher threshold for detection by redefining THRESHOLD_GROUND_DETECT (see firmwares/rotorcraft/autopilot.h).

Today i start to test rotorcraft autoland.

When the aircraft arrives to land waypoint the it drop from the air.
I removed the ground_Detect/holdpoint from flare block then the rotorcraft do a controlled descent.

anyone using this feature ?
