What is the reason you implemented the 10m distance limit in Home Lock mode? It would be included an option to NAZA assistant software to overcome this.

A long time ago when IOC was first introduced, it was concluded that the HL algorithms get confused within a 10m radius of HP.
GPS accuracy is also probably a factor.
Someone (Dr Kallend, I think) actually posted a technical explanation, but it's lost in the threads over on RCG.
Be aware that the FC switches to CL when it gets within the 10m radius.

Also, why would you want HL in so close?
If you need to keep orientation in spite of the direction the craft is pointing, CL still will work right next to you.
Just remember things get reversed if the craft gets behind you...

I went and checked POI settings on the A2...
It will let you set a 5m radius for POI, but still requires 10m distance forom Home Point in HL flying.
Perhaps the more sophisticated FC can more accurately deal with distances from Home Point.

Sorry, I did not know I was recounting old history to you.
I'll try to remember that you're a seasoned pilot in the future...

I like the idea, or if the possibility to lower the limit to 2 or 3 meter would exist that would also work fine.

Does anyone know if the home lock function requires a GPS lock to function properly? In other words can I still fly successfully in homelock when less than 6 satellites are present?
