First let me say thanks to the all teams for their hard efforts,Two simple questions with reference to the config tool.1. Is it possible to have a trigger/event option at each waypoint? I’m happy to modify the base code to utilise the trigger point (ie camera shutter) but have very little idea how to modify the Config tool. I have considered using a defined altitude (999) as a trigger.(carrying over the altitude from the previous WP) but would like to use the config tool if possible.2. Is it possible to have a “keep out zone” set by the config tool? When flying in one area we use there is a fence line that if we should cross it (cross wind or user error) I would like the auto pilot to instruct the system to RTL if this should fail the maybe it’s a classic downward spin. I’m aware that for most third party work the suicide feature should be controlled by a independent controller, but this feature is only help the pilot know when the UAV has crossed the line. Just to confirm the UAV would be in autonomous mode.RegardsToby

We'll be adding trigger events to the next version of the config tool, which will be integrated in the groundstation for Mega.
As for the GPS fence, that's logic that has to run onboard, in the autopilot. Pretty easy to code, but not a priority for us because we're not competing in the Outback Challenge. A simple distance fence (return if more than X,000 meters from home) is trivial to add, however.
