Mission Planning and Re-start

Hello,

I'm progressing with executing missions and am bumping into questions that I cannot find answers for in the forum. I am starting Missions via the MP telemetry radio. Any help on the following would be greatly appreciated:

1. Re-starting a Mission seems to be hit and miss. I do understand that this needs to be done in the Auto mode. However, when I do it in that mode, the Mission does not necessarily always restart. Or it will re-start and head to Home vs. WP1.

 a. Is there a "correct order" of executing a Mission re-start? If so, what is it? Does re-start Mission actually restart the Mission or do I need to press Auto too?

b. Do I need to have the physical switch mode on the Tx in Manual or is any position okay and will be over ridden by the telemetry command in MP?

c. I noticed no matter how many WP's I use, when heading to home after the last WP still lists the last WP# as opposed to Home or 0, is that normal?

It would be great if one of the MP developers made a tutorial of making a medium complexity Mission, with a break in the Mission and then a re-start. If one exists, I couldn't find it, please point me...

Thanks,

Steven

    you can tell the autopilot to change to any wp while in flight. using the wp number and "set WP" you should be able to do this at any time, and it will do that next command. You don't need to be in manual, but you can be, just to set the wp, then back into auto to run it.

    How home is displayed depends on the autopilot.

     

  • One other thing I forgot to ask is, does restart mission start at the going to WP1, Home or if you interrupted the mission, at the next sequence where you left off.

    Thanks,

    Steven
