MAV doesn't respond with MISSION_ITEM_REACHED

Posted by Murtaza Bagwala on April 27, 2015 at 6:03am

Hi All,

Actually I was looking for the way from which I can find out whether the MAV has reached the particular mission item or not then, I came across this message(MISSION_ITEM_REACHED(#46)) that announces the sequence number of the mission item that has been reached by the MAV. But, when I try it for testing I didn't get any message from the MAV like this. so what's wrong with this message ? Is Ardupilot firmware doesn't implement this message or something else ?

Thanks in advance for help.

Regards,

Murtaza Bagwala

It's not implemented in the Ardupilot code. It does announce when it's heading to the next waypoint. i.e. Waypoint current message

  Ok but how could I come to know that whether my mission is completed or not. I mean is there any message which MAV announces when it reaches last waypoint

    I'd suggest setting up the simulator SITL and doing some tests see http://dev.ardupilot.com

      I did but didn't get any confirmation or message which suggests whether the mission is completed or not

        Add an extra WP at the last location, say to loiter indefinitely, when that waypoint becomes active you know you have ended.

        Yeah I think that would be great. Thanks Bill
