Arming, Disarming, and Mode Selection

This chapter provides detailed instructions for arming and disarming your drone, as well as selecting different flight modes.

Arming the Drone

To arm the drone, follow these steps:

• Ensure that the drone is in a safe and suitable location for takeoff.
• Verify that the "arming allowed" status is displayed on the web-interface dashboard.
• Move the arm/disarm switch to the "arm" position to successfully arm the drone.

Disarming the Drone

To manually disarm the drone, follow these steps:

• Ensure that the drone is in a safe and controlled state to disarm.
• Move the arm/disarm switch to the "disarm" position while holding the throttle stick down.

If the takeoff and landing detector is configured to auto-disarm, the drone will auto-disarm upon landing. In piloted modes, auto-disarm requires the throttle stick to be fully down.

Flight Mode Selection

Refer to the flight mode's documentation to understand the available flight modes and their respective functionalities.

Flight mode selection depends on the configuration of two switches: Switch 1 and Switch 2, each with three positions.

During arming, the flight mode mapped to Switch 1's current position is considered the active mode. If the current position of Switch 1 is not mapped to any mode, the flight mode mapped to the position of Switch 2 is used as the current flight mode.

While in flight, the flight mode corresponding to the switch movement is considered. Moving a specific switch will activate the flight mode associated with that switch's movement.

Currently, the only way to change modes is through the flight mode switches.
