ran into this, too. solution is to checkout the correct branch (bitbucked url doesn't include branch name, check available branches with "hg branches" command). Branches are called "hover_mode" for the client and "hover_mode_pid" for the firmware. You can checkout branch with "hg checkout <branchname>".mrb0y wrote:I'm in the same boat as every one else as far as I can tell. I cloned the repositories for the phiamo client and firmware and then built the firmware and uploaded to CF. I then run the client and set the hover mode button in the controller mapping. I goto fly the CF and there is no indication that I have entered into hover mode on the client. The CF does not look to be "hovering" and also there is no debug mode showing in the parameters tab?
I haven't gotten good results so far and here are some questions / reports:
What does the "hover" control actually do? I had to sacrifice my yaw control to even assign it and it doesn't seem to change anything.
A lot of time when I start hoover mode (be it in mid air or from ground with throttle 0), cf goes to the ceiling pretty quickly. Sometimes it just spins at very low throttle (3000-5000) when starting hover-mode from ground.
I've had some success, too, though: managed to remain in hover-mode for about 20 seconds or so at one time... it happened really close to the ground.
