Litchi - waypoint actions

[Cavan_Paul]

Used litchi for the first time today and really like it. I had one issue and I’m sure it’s something very simple that I did wrong. At several of my waypoints I selected the following options:
Stop recording
Take photo
Start recording

I noticed during the flight that the audio would say “recording stopped” immediately followed by “recording started” and as I suspected no photo was taken.

Would someone be able to tell me how I correct this?

Were you also recording video? If so, it takes time to write the video to the card before taking a photo. That would be the reason it did not take the photo. Assuming as I said you were recording video in this sequence "Stop Recording ( Video), Take Photo, Start Recording (Video)" sequence.

You can get very similar results by just taking a snapshot in your video editor, post flight.

Yes that was the sequence. If I was to stop recording, pause the flight for a few seconds the take the photo prior to resuming the flight, would that work? The start recording again

Stop Recording, Stay for 3 seconds, Take Photo, Stay for 3 seconds, Start Recording maybe can help

That might do it. Just depends on how long the card write takes from the video. But 3-5 seconds should do it.

I do not think it was the problem in this case, but curved turns can prevent waypoint actions, as the AC never actually reaches the waypoint.
As I say not the problem in this case, but worth remembering.

Thanks will try it

No, the lines were straight, not curved

@Cavan_Paul can you share your Litchi mission and someone can take a look at it?

I suspect you need a delay in there between actions.

New to the app, how do I share... the csv file?
