I am getting my commercial drone license and want to fly for a company that photographs building roofs and walls. The detail roof photos require you to take multiple photographs at a certain height and overlap. This is a perfect application of Litchi waypoints and I have been practicing on my home. I found 2 problems very quickly. The first one is that there are lots of photos to take, so that means a lot of repetitive adding of waypoints, setting heading, setting gimbal pitch, adding action to take photo, basically a bit boring. And the other problem is even using the Mission Hub software on my desktop computer the map doesn't zoom in close enough so you have room for all the waypoints. They are just one on top of the other.
This seems the perfect application of a computer program that could compute the waypoints and write them into a csv file that could be imported into Mission Hub as the start of a mission with only a few mission settings needing to be set by hand. I am a computer programmer and can write a program to do this but it seems silly to reinvent the wheel as there has to be shareware code out there that already does all or part of that but I haven't been able to find any with google searches. I either find programs you have to buy or programs for computing grids, but not geo grids.
Can anyone steer me to something I can use? Here is an example of what the drone needs to do.
