The new firmware in action...
Thanks, Miguel, for taking the time to demo the new functionality. The waypoint implementation in the app is not going to work well for my purpose - agricultural recon.
For example, I need to be able to have the bird rise from 7500' to '8500 over a 1.75 mile run, and from that point drop to 7200' over a 1.25 mile run, THEN move from point to point taking video of animals, water, feed, fences, etc, for a couple of minutes and finally to return home. The path to do this manually would not be ideal, as the trails (horse/foot) are not "as the crow flies"
This is just one example of several missions for me. I only need video beyond visual range (bvr).
Seems the capability is supported in firmware but not by the app. Disappointing. I may look into the SDK and developing a "simple" (iOS) app for setting up a mission WITHOUT having to first manually record the waypoints. I would need to figure out how waypoint mission management is accomplished - whether the mission planning/setup and the mission loading and the mission execution can be done independently - that is, if i could develop a planning app and store it to the drone, then run the mission from the GO app (or some other app).
Now, if an iOS app would support such waypoint missions, then that would be good. However, if Litchi (android) supports this already, then I may need to consider that route.
Would really like to figure this all out before moving from summer ranges to winter ranges mid-Oct. (Winter range missions will be much simpler setups...won't go into that now)
