Feature request: RTL, return to launch
Hi,
don't know if this was already requested.
What I think about is an independant alternative to rth. I like the rth function as it is, I would like to be able to use at any time either rth or rtl.
The lauch coordinate shall be determined on arming motors, or at least with first 3D fix.
When initiated (2pos switch like gear or mix) the copter shall gain height to a configurable distance above maximum of actual and lauch position (edit: configurable height above lauch will be sufficient), return at this height to lauch coordinate and land.
We already have implementations of all necessary functions to do that: move to waypoint (actual position, raise altitude), once more move to waypoint (lauch coordinate, do not change altitude) and land.
It shall be configurable to activate rtl or whatever else on failsafe.
Thanks
Michael
