ARDUPILOT can change/create waypoints during the flight??

Posted by Joao Machado on May 27, 2010 at 3:26am
Hello everyone

Anyone knows if is possible to change/create the waypoints during the flight?

float wayPoints[WP_TOTAL][3] = {
        {-0.000465, -0.000612, 100},    // 1    
        {0.000456, -0.000628, 75},              // 2
        {-0.000453, 0.000558, 50},              // 3
        {0.000456, 0.000536, 25},               // 4
}


My ideia is to create a similar program to configtool (to create the traject of the plane) and give the possibility to put a new waypoint during the flight.

You think that is possible?

    right now with regular AP, you only have one-way downstream communication via XBee....I believe some people have hacked in 2-way with some additional equipment.

    As I understand it, APMega should support this out of the box. (once the code is written) =)

    If i remember correctly NO. it is not possible to change them on fly but what I have been playing with ArduPIlot and it's software, it is rather easy to modify code to support this feature.
