How to save current drone position, return to home, change the battery then resume the mission to the last save position?

Maybe we can hover the drone for a few seconds to get accurate gps location before returning home.

I cant figure it out how to do it.

  • Thanks Alexey,

    It seems more practical to hold the mission and change the first point manually. I don't like too many waypoints.

    Hi,

    basically everything the same - you need to change first point for new flight manually.

    But starting from UgCS 2.12 (as I remember) you can convert route generated by AreaScan or Photogrammetry tool to separate waypoints and modify it as you want.

  • Hi all, any news about this matter?

  • My plan is to separate power for FC/radio and motors. FC power consumption is very small against the motors/load.

    Dual power system maybe, so my FC will always stay on wile changing mainpower for motor/load.

  • I basically keep an eye on the battery level and when it's low enough I pause the mission at the end of a route line and set my new start point there, fly back, change batteries and resume the mission. My current mission takes between 3 and four batteries and this method works well.

  • In case if it is in the middle of route generated by Photogrammetry tool or AreaScan - no way.

  • Is there any way to capture that position in UgCS then add that position as a new waypoint and start (resume) from that new waypoint ?

  • Hi, such scenario isn't implemented in UgCS. UgCS allows to start (resume) mission from particular waypoint of the route.
