LOIT_ parameters

7 parameters in the LOIT_ family. ArduCopter 4.7 only — other vehicles share many of these names but not always the same ranges or meanings.

LOIT_ACC_MAX_M

Loiter maximum correction acceleration

Loiter maximum correction acceleration in m/s/s. Higher values cause the copter to correct position errors more aggressively.

Units

m/s/s

Range

1 to 9.81

Increment

0.01

User level

Advanced

LOIT_ANG_MAX

Loiter pilot angle max

Loiter maximum pilot requested lean angle. Set to zero for 2/3 of PSC_ANGLE_MAX/ATC_ANGLE_MAX. The maximum vehicle lean angle is still limited by PSC_ANGLE_MAX/ATC_ANGLE_MAX

Units

deg

LOIT_BRK_ACC_M

Loiter braking acceleration

Loiter braking acceleration in m/s/s. Higher values stop the copter more quickly when the stick is centered.

Units

m/s/s

Range

0.25 to 2.5

Increment

LOIT_BRK_JRK_M

Loiter braking jerk

Loiter braking jerk in m/s/s/s. Higher values will remove braking faster if the pilot moves the sticks during a braking maneuver.

Units

m/s/s/s

Range

5 to 50

Increment
