Hi
I have the problem that I can't save enough waypoints on the Pixhawk. But I'm not shure if this could be a Mission Planner problem. The Pixhawk has a 4GB micro sd card installed, so I don't think there is not enough space for my waypoints... :-)
Today I send a WP File with over 700 waypoints without problems to the pixhawk. But if I read the waypoints from the pixhawk, the Mission Planer displays not a single waypoint on the map... If I try this with 50 waypoints it works.
Another problem is to save and read a WP-File with over 254 waypoints with the Mission Planner. I can save a waypoint file to my harddisc. When I try to read the waypoints only 254 will be read and the message "too many waypoints" shows up... I'm confused..
Can somebody explain this behavior?
Many thanks in advance
Michael

Thanks for your advice. I listed the issue on GitHub.
Ardupilot does not have code (yet, will come) for using full capacity of pixhawk's main microcontroller - so it's limited to the ~120 WP of APM.
Pixhawk does not store mission on microSD.
Do you know when the update will be come?
no, as soon somebody feels the need to do the change.
Yes, I feel the need for this change :-) I have built a hexacopter for a farming application. The goal is to help the local farmers to overcome a maize pest. We do this on a biological way. I have to drop 100 small bowls filled with special wesp larvas on one hectare. So, I get 100 waypoints for one hectare. But there are also fields with 5 hectares... My goal is to do the 5 hectare field in one mission and not in 5 missions...
So, I hope we get the update asap...
