Waypoint Live Recording

[afernan]

I´ve coded this "mod" to enable AQ recording of WP´s during manual flight. Using the Tx "gear" switch (ch5) each time is set, a new wp is added to the list. Then you can run auto as usual or download to GCS to edit. This feature lets you fly auto missions without the need of any gcs. Convenient sound signals are set to drive you in the process.

Main features:
- no limitations of number of WP´s (limited to NAV_MAX_MISSION_LEGS, default = 25)
- can record in manual or PH mode (quite convenient) while ARMED or DISARMED
- absolute altitude recorded (wp´s have 3D info)
- deletion of WP´s can be done thru Tx

See how performs in this new video: (WLR V3)

------ UPDATE 5th Sep -----------------

New update V3 with following improvements:
NOW MUCH MORE SIMPLE:

- WP´s can be recorded in DISARMED also. So we can walk-&-recording waypoints ( I´ll show a video flying between trees, recorded like that)
- To delete WP´s simply set ROLL stick to the top left while in DISARMED (obviously). So we need only one switch (GEAR) to play full WLR (joebar idea).
- & diferents code clearings. Now even more safe.

I´ve flown several bateries this V3 without any single problem.
As usual, attached V3 with hex and changed code files

Hope you enjoy, and I hope to see soon inside the trunk code.

@Joebar:
Thanks a lot for your comments.

I think you had a more clean code than mine, although in the basis are quite similar. I´ve took some parts of yours for mine to update and improve it. I´ll fly it this afternoon and report back

Thanks

I´ve flight tested several bateries without any single problem. Tomorrow I´ll add a new video sowing the perfo.

Thanks for following this

WLR V3: Video showing new performances:

This demo include three test:
- 1st: recording WP´s by walking around trees in disarmed. Then, the mission is ran.
- 2nd: WP´s recording in Position Hold. Then Run mission
- 3rd. We deleted previous WP´s with the radio, we record new set of WP´s and we run.

Enjoy

Good job, Angel!
Looks like it's working flawlessly. Both methods (disarmed/in flight) are great tools for wp navigation.

Good job indeed.
I am waiting my new AQ board to continue . I hope to get it very soon.
I see that autoquad is continuously in progress.

So far I have only used firmware on our copters that is flagged as stable. Angel, I think you made me break my own rules because I don't have the patience to wait for your waypoint live recording in a stable version.

I've flown many times last versión (V3) without a single problem. I think you can fly it safely.
