Hi, I'm trying to learn how waypoints work and how accurate they are, so I did a simple test. I sat in the middle of a wide closed down road, and launched the Pro4 mini, to fly at 2 mtr height, and follow the line for 20Mtrs, then reverse back along the line and land. This was 4 waypoints...

Hi, I've found them, and now exploring. Thanks, all, C.

Hi R and M, Aha, that's why I can;t find them! Is there anyway to get at them? I was hoping to read a text file, and edit so that I could move waypoints, by changinf the numbers, from perhaps a separate GPS reader. Is this at all possible? C

Hi B, Ok, thanks, as I'm on the wrong thread, I'll ask again in a separate one. C.

D, Do you know where things like the waypoints are stored? Are they on both? C.

Hi, What is stored A/ on the drone memory card and B/ on the controller card? (RC2) C

Hi, I was wondering about the satellites and their positioning and number! Are they moving at random, or will they be in the same position at a certain time. This may mean that to get consistency, launch drone at the same time and the same place. Who thinks this is correct? C

Hi D, Ok, thanks and noted. I have a few hobbies, where extra programs and apps help with things, like the Arduino system in electronics, but for some reason, I like to use raw ingredients, if I can (in this case text files). This is a bit harder, but makes me more independant. C

Hi B, For me, remembering lots of instructions, especially under pressure is difficult. I have a few items: car, ham radio etc plus the drone, and getting muscle memory of how they work takes a long time, so too much is not welcome. I actually don't know exactly how to turn the car lights on...

Hi B, I've not heard of Litchi, so I'll look it up, thanks. C

Hi D, I had to look up what HDOP means, but it looks very interesting, although a bit advanced for my old brain. I was looking at the text files that are saved in a waypoint mission, which include the coordinates. Could the waypoints be tweaked text wise, and reloaded back into the drone? I'm...

Hi D, True, this is what I'm finding. I suppose sometime in the future they will use Lidar and cameras more. Also something like how a computer mouse 'sees' This particular place where I've been testing, has mostly open skies most of the time, but obviously being an old road is more of a strip...

Hi B, I'm walking actually (this is what get's me out and walking :) ), and if on an e,g, footpath or cycle way, I fly above bike head height. I'll have to think about horses too! C

Hi B, I've had a few panicks, but I am trying to learn battery time, to avoid this. C

Hi G, Yes, this has happened, but I'm always watching, so if it tries that, I take over, but if it flies under the trees, I leave it to it's own devices. I have had it shoot up and out of sight, and so far it has gone up one hole and down another a couple of time, then RTH. All a bit tricky...
