Hi all,
I'm working on getting some autonomous flights done but I've got some questions about QGC, specifically about the coordinate frames used in the waypoint setup menu.
1. I would like to specify waypoints in terms of positions and altitude relative to takeoff. Eg, fly (10, 20, 5) will fly to a point 10m north, 20m east and 5m above initial takeoff points.
1a. Currently it looks like the 'local' frame would do this, however it says 'Z negative', but then has D 550m (for example). I'm assuming this is 550m 'down', which is 550m ASL correct? How do i specify absolute altitude above initialisation point? I don't like the idea of relative altitudes because on larger missions you end up having to take a running tally of your altitude movements. Specifying absolute altitudes ASL is annoying as well because to fly the same mission in multiple locations you need to update the height, lest it fly into the ground or off into the sky.
1b. It also looks like the 'mission' frame might be able to do this as well. Are these implemented / which one to use?
2. Are the takeoff, rth and land commands working correctly as of 6.7.r224.b1400?
Thanks,
Nick
