Hi , can someone tell me how to use the waypoint map?
Can't find any info about how to set waypoints.
Since openpilot forums are down even google has no answer....
-
Hi,
OPmap > right click, you will see a context menu with:
- Add waypoint
- Waypoint editor
Double check altitude on every waypoint
Send plan to Fc from Waypoint editor, the SystemHealth "Plan" alarm go green
-
Thank you.....
Due to my res.settings i couldn't see the last points of the list.
Now i have seen it and it's realy easy and self explaining how to use. ;D ;D ;D
-
Have you now successfully used way points ? If so how well did it work?
-
Waypoints do work, but they rely on everything else working well.
I suggest that you first make sure your copter flies well in VelocityRoam mode because it uses the same subsystems.
Before doing waypoint flight, you need to make sure that Home Location is set correctly, preferably close by, and that the Home altitude is correctly set. If you have never done it before, the best way is probably to have it set up to set Home Location each time you start up and get a good GPS lock. I prefer to wait longer to get a better lock and make it a permanent setting.
For first waypoint flight, make your waypoints close to you (less than 100m or so) and use just 4 waypoints or so.
(from memory) to do waypoint flight you click a point on the GCS map. Then right click and select "add waypoint". Repeat. When finished, right click and select "waypoint editor".
In waypoint editor you must change two things about each waypoint:
- set the speed. make it slow for first tests. 3 is probably a good number
- set the altitude. the default of 0 is ground level. :) altitude is the least accurate part of GPS, so make it at least 4 meters.
Upload the flight plan using a button at the top of the WP editor. Note that it is not stored permanently so you must upload a plan each time you power on.
Take off in Attitude mode (you need attitude mode available at least as the quickest way to get stopped and level).
Keep your finger on the switch when you switch to PathPlanner mode. And plan on switching to Attitude mode. If it all works OK, you can abort that plan and let it fly.

Hello,
Can someone explain WayPoints Mode Circle to the right or Left. How do you change the Radios of the circle?
-
Add waypoint
Again, add waypoint
Right clic on Wp#2 and "Edit waypoint"
Mode > Circle right
You can see the radius is the distance between Wp#1 and #2
Try Mode > Circle left and see the difference :)

Can this circle mode be used with the copter facing nose in to the centre point? That would be cool for taking videos or pictures of something .
-
Take a look at VtolPathFollowerSettings > YawControl options.
Not sure it really works, not recommended
-
Thanks.
I will give it a try.
-
I added 3 waypoints, clicked on the Up arrow to load the Path to the Board. Path and Plan become Green. switch to PathPlanner, then it will just do PositionHold like there is no Plan to follow. :(
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
-
If velocity you ask is 0m/s, the vehicle should do PosHold ?
-
f5soh,
Any Velocity that I can securely try?
-
4m/s = 15km/h
-
Thanks I will try tonight, and post back
-
I try, and this is what is doing:

And some time the waypoints become green and I can't do any editing. I think, that the Planner looks a the waypoints like they had been done.
???

Here is a video of the waypoints and configuration
