Position Control does not auto re-engage when using Joystick #13348

Open nicovanduijn opened 5 years ago

Describe the bug If there is a fallback to Altitude mode from Position, the vehicle cannot recover back to position mode (once available) if it is commanded via MAVLink (instead of RC).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get a GPS-only drone and set it up to fly via MAVLink (e.g. Tablet + Joystick)
  2. Fly in position control
  3. Start a mavlink shell and type "gps stop", the vehicle will go into altitude mode
  4. Type "GPS start -b 115200" in the mavlink shell
  5. You can wait all you want, the drone will remain in Altitude mode

Expected behavior The drone should re-engage position control once the estimate becomes valid again.

We can see that the position estimate re-appears when the GPS kicks back in, but the mode does not switch. bokeh_plot (1)
