Open Waypoint Generator

With the Waypoint Generator you can place different waypoint pattern with different settings on a map. Quickly and easily you can cover areas, put circles or planning a panorama.

You can open the waypoints generator

Area

In the Waypoint Generator you can select the tab "Area".

With this feature you can automatically generate an arbitrary rectangular grid with up to 200 waypoints.

Distance X[m]:

Distance in meters between the waypoints in X-direction

#WPs in X:

Number of waypoints in the X-direction

Distance Y[m]:

Distance in meters between the waypoints in Y-direction

#WPs in Y:

Number of waypoints in the Y-direction

Grid Rotation [°]

Orientation of the grid

Waypoint:

Radius [m]

Radius around the individual waypoint (should be "10")

Altitude [m]

Altitude of the waypoint

Heading [°]

Direction in which the copter looks when it reaches the waypoint

Cam-Nick [°]

Tilt of the camera when it reaches the waypoint

Speed [0.1m/s]

Flight speed between the waypoints

Climb rate [0.1m/s]

Flight speed to change the altitude between the waypoints

DelayTime [s]

Waiting time per waypoint.
If you set here an "0", the copter will not stop on the waypoint. He fly directly further to the next waypoint

WP event

Switching duration per box of the Bitmask for "Out1"
Applies only to the single waypoint - not for triggering any X Meter!

Auto Trigger [m]

Triggering the switching output "Out1" every X meters
(Switching duration per box of the Bitmask = 10ms)

WP Prefix

Enter an individual letter. Helpful when a large number of waypoints are planned.
INFO: You will see the letter only in the Editor and in the LOG File, not on the Map. In the Map you see still a "P" on each waypoint.

Add 1sec Curve DelayTime

Sets a waiting period of 1 sec for the vertices

Deleting existing WPs

Deletes existing WPs when you press the button "Generate"

Generate

Create the new waypoints

Explanation see Convert to !AutoTrigger











Example 1 - triggering at each waypoint

In this example, we fly over an area of approximately 180m x 80m (see also Distance).
The starting point on the field is top left (red arrow).

These requirements should be respected:



Step 1





Step 2

Step 3



Step 4



Step 5












Example 2 - triggering every X meters

In this example, we also fly over the same field with the dimensions approximately 180m x 80m (see also Distance).
But here we will not place every 10m a waypoint. Now we will do this with less waypoints and a triggering all X meters.

Also here these requirements should be respected:



Step 1



Step 2

Step 5


The entries in the editor for this WP flight look like this

http://gallery3.mikrokopter.de/var/albums/intern/KopterTool_ab_V2_0/OSD/WP-Generator-01/WP-Flug2-Editor.jpg?m=1450423820 Here you can see that the flight have a totally distance of ~1460m and that the flight time is ~12:22.

These figures are estimates and may vary from the actual flight (e.g wind etc.).











Example 3 - triggering every X meters - in a given overlapped for pictures

In this example, we also fly over the same field with the dimensions approximately 180m x 80m (see also Distance).

The photos should have a predefined overlap in X and Y direction. Every X meters we trigger the camera automatically, matching to the overlap.

Step 1



Step 2

Step 3



















Step 4











Example 4 - Convert to AutoTrigger

In this example, we are planning the same waypoint flight as in Example 1.

During this flight, we need the waypoints only to set a point where we will trigger the camera. There is no stop at the single waypoint. In order to save these waypoints between the endpoints, we use the button "Convert to Auto Trigger" .







Distance

If you have loaded a map and if you want to determining a distance between e.g. 2 points or the length and width of a field, you can do this quickly and easily.

  • place a waypoint there (by clicking the left mouse button) where you will start your measurement
  • then move the cursor (with your mouse) on the map
  • in the "Titlebar" you can ow see the distance between the waypoint and the cursor
