Questions about way points in ArduCopter

Posted by Fernando Dotta on May 26, 2013 at 6:10pm

Hi guys,

I'm getting better understand about the APM and the ArduCoprter and now I'm trying to do some more advanced stuff with my quad. So, i have 2 questiosn:

1) When you set the WPs, the quad goes to one wp to another pointing the front of the copter to the next wp. I would like know if is possible to make the quad fly side ways, i mean, the follows a line between 2 wp and keep the front on it on that line. I'm trying to make the quad go to a wp to another with the front of it in 90 degrees of that line.

2) How can i change the speed of the quad in the flight and get back to the default speed? Using the DO_CHANGE_SPEED?

PS: following a video of my quad flying with auto take-off and landing

    Hi Fernando,

    That sounds like a cool test to do. Have you tried to change your WP_SPEED_MAX automatically or even manually?

    Place a CONDITION_YAW after a waypoint and the copter will point that way. Just enter Deg and pick direction clockwise or counter clockwise. DO_CHANGE_SPEED does not seem to work reliably. I use the default speed for waypoints. You find it at either under ArduCopter Config under Nav WP right of m/s or under Adv Parameter List under WP_SPEED_MAX.
    Good luck and fly safe.
