I've watched some of the new videos (Pano's and Waypoints) and have a few questions and/or enhancement requests.
These are all based on the Waypoint Video #3
1. The video says that the interval for shooting photos cannot be set until the Phantom is connected. Is that just a temporary thing for version 3.5? In the next version, will the interval be able to be saved as part of the mission configuration file?
2. Can you provide a bit more detail on how the automatic deceleration works when approaching a waypoint that has an action defined? If I have a waypoint action that takes a photo, and I want to ensure the the drone is settled (still and in the right spot), what do I need to do? The extra time it takes for deceleration at each waypoint in a mission that contains many waypoints, could add up. Is this extra time considered when showing the overall mission length in path inspector?
3. At around the 32:30 point in the video, Focus Trigger Interpolation is being discussed. In the example used in the video - if I wanted a smooth transition to the direction focus trigger - but not a gradual interpolation - how would I do that? Suppose I wanted to define a 2 second gradual focus shift instead of having the focus change abruptly - is that possible today? How?
4. Is there anything to watch out for when loading/running missions created in previous versions of AutoPilot or do all of the new values get defaults that do not change the original behaviour?
Lots of great new features! And all of them FREE (for existing owners)!!! Thank you!
I especially like the ability to re-use previous focus points! Some of my previous missions were pretty cluttered because I couldn't do that!
Thanks!
