What do you think about a feature like: put 3 secconds your finger on the Google map, enter an altitude, press execute, and the copter goes twards that point if you turn on "GPS Home"

One of my customers needs aerial photos each time from the same position. same altitude, to monitor the building progress.

Could that be more useful than follow me with curent implementation?

this is very good idea. I think it can be done.

You probably have a MASTER.

Also if home position and hold position are displayed correctly on the map ?

Hi,

It's absolutely fantastic
Everything seems to work as expected on my desk.
(with a galaxy S2 + custom 4.2 ROM + crius BT)
I hope I will be able do to some real tests on the field this WE.

The MAP view is a piece of art.
HOME position is fine updated, exactly where you click on the map.
POS HOLD position is also fine displayed, exactly where you decide to activate it.
Both are correctly polled via MSP, fine.
(just one note: the P continues to be displayed even when POS HOLD is deactivated. I think the display of P should be correlated with POS HOLD status)

A small other note: in dashboard 2, the unit of distance to home is in meter

In GPS view, I see there are now GPS data from the phone.
Just for curiosity, and to evaluate the GPS accuracy, would it be possible to graph its position on the MAP too ?

I tested also (on the desk only): Follow me and inject GPS.
They all seem to work. (around 1 refresh per second, but not steady)

I have one question. Bart, would it be possible to let map mode be selectable? I mean change between satellite and map mode? Ie. in map mode, long-press would give a small menu with radio buttons for different GPS layout modes....

Maybe in the future.
Right now you can use google maps as satellite view and offline maps as map mode. You can find it in config.

Many thanks.
The reason why it would be useful to use map view is that sometimes on field the phone signal is weak and takes longer time to download the satellite pictures.

Hi Bart and Alex,

the wideos are great indeed!
I hope I'll test the range-extension with hm-trp transparent modules tomorrow.
But I have a question. Now, the home point could be changed. But, since Home point can be used for example failsafe in the future (as it already works in my code... ), would it be possible to modify the HOLD point instead of home point? Than, the home could be leaved for RTH functions, HOLD could be used for sending the copter to a destination... (and still have the possibility of failsafe RTH).

Good point.
It needs to be rethinked.
Maybe Alex will have some good idea how we can make it.

Bart

      if (wp_no == 16) {
        GPS_hold[LAT] = read32();
        GPS_hold[LON] = read32();
        read32();                       // future: to set altitude
        read8();                        // future: to set nav flag
        f.GPS_HOLD_MODE= 0;            // with this flag, GPS_set_next_wp will be called in the next RC loop
      }

nhadrian wrote:I think replacing the coordinates of HOLD point is not a good solution, especially when copter is far from the new point!

                if ((wp_distance <= GPS_wp_radius) || check_missed_wp()){         //if yes switch to poshold mode
                  nav_mode = NAV_MODE_POSHOLD;

My idea is the following:

1) the HOLD code should replaced with the navigation code from RTH

2, WP_16 could be used indeed and updated via MSP by phone

3) when HOLD is activated, naw_mode should set to HOLD, and current coordinates for WP16 (this means copter starts to maintain the position)

4) when stick is out of AP deadband, function must disabled, and after WP16 coordinates should updated (like now for hold coordinates), but still in HOLD mode for naw_mode

5) WP16 coordinates should be checked in every cycle (if changed or not within a cycle. if changed that is because it was overwritten via MSP)
6) when WP16 is changed, naw mode should switched to HOME mode, that would mean copter starts to move to WP16 with the navigation code part enabled
7) when WP16 is reached, naw mode should be changed back to hold mode (as normally in RTH too)

ps.: I connected the 3DR module to the bluetooth, seems to works great, I hope I'll test soon on field!!!
I hope range will not be a problem anymore...

Well this is not a bug and application closes but I was to lazy to clean notifications

how you exit from the app ?
do you use blue-black circle button ?

Of course yes. With the blue circle button.
I'm thinking on couldn't it be solved by closing all notifications before exit, once hit on the blue button?
Just an idea.

PS.: are you goning to add the WP16 option to maps? I'd like to try the mod of Alex with modified HOLD code...

BTW, the copter icon is not scaled in the notification bar... but this is pitty, not needed to be fixed.

Did you thought on making a different icon for the GUI too? For example a BW one? That would match my win7 theme...

Anybody could share his idea and then we could choose the winner by a small poll?
