set waypoints on the fly with radio switch

Posted by willie mcphee on March 1, 2015 at 5:02pm

hi guys.. i'm a total noob, i have a QR x350pro with dvof12e radio... no ground station and no bluetooth or any other way to com with the quad other than the radio controller

i thought i read in one the the 100's of posts i've been over this month that it is possible to record way-points while you are flying manually by assigning a switch on your radio to do so.. so for example you could fly to one point then flip your switch on/off then fly to another and another doing the same at each point and then use your auto switch to activate the mission...

was i hallucinating wishfully? or is that actually possible?

THNX people

      thanks friend

      i dont know how i missed that guide :-)

      i read through the MP guide and all kinds of stuff but never came across that one, or just thought it didnt apply to my RTF unit i guess... THNX, really clears a lot of things up for me

      its a little late so i dont have time to study my radio fully now, but i have a couple other switches that dont show settings in MP, they do things like "1 key take off"... I'll look into it a little more to see what channels they show as on my radio and come up with some questions on this same topic that maybe someone can help me understand.
