It is recommended to operate AMC in Normal Mode, as Advanced Mode provides operational options and settings that fall outside the typical drone operator's scope. Operating AMC in Advanced Mode means operating the drone outside of warranty coverage.
AMC can run in Normal and Advanced Mode. Enter Advanced Mode by clicking five times on the menu iconin the upper left corner of the screen. A window will pop up, providing the option to switch modes.
The menu icon will change from filled to hollow.
Operating AMC in Advanced Mode adds more options and settings to choose from. These settings are not relevant for typical drone operators and should not be changed by end users. The following list provides an overview of some key items:
Pilot Commands: Land and Transition commands are available in the Fly View Toolbar.
Arming: The vehicle can be manually armed via the Emergency Action button.
Analyze: The option to manually download log files is available in the Analyze tab. The MAVLink Console/Inspector is also accessible for development tasks; however, these settings and menus are not relevant for typical drone operators and should not be changed by end users.
MAVLink and Console: These are available in the Settings tab for development tasks. Similar to the Analyze tab, these settings and menus are not intended for modification by drone operators.
Vehicle Overview: In the Overview tab, additional sensors are accessible for calibration, along with more options within specific sensor categories. Only Compass Calibration may be necessary in some circumstances. For more information about Compass Calibration, please read here.
Safety Tab: In the Safety tab, RC Loss Failsafe Trigger and Land Mode Settings are accessible.
To access the Land and Transition commands via the Fly View Toolbar, AMC must be running in Advanced Mode.
In the AMC Menu -> Settings -> General -> Miscellaneous, the option to always start AMC in Advanced Mode is available. This option is only accessible when AMC is running in Advanced Mode.
