Litchi mission waypoint but always focus on the building.

[jaysrmc]

Hey guys and litchi experts.
I have a commercial job tomorrow that is a bit different.

They want me to do a half moon type shape around the front of their building.
I watch the drone to always face the building but not sure I did it right. Here is my mission screen shot but I am not sure what option in litchi under heading to choose so that the camera is always looking at the building. Here is my mission and settings. Any idea if this is correct?

@sar104 Do you have any idea on this?

 

[Harrier]

Looks like you have all set correctly. Good luck.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Will the camera always point to the building with those settings?

 

[Harrier]

Yes. I don't think you need that many waypoints or POIs though? But it should still work. Also, did you set your POI height? Maybe 6-10 feet?

Yeah I set them low. I'll make another with less to try both.

Have you tried VLM? Check it out before you fly.

Try it - I think it will help you.

Yeah I checked it out but it seems the camera moves up and down between waypoints

I tried it but I can't get the camera to stop moving down between waypoints.

If you provide a link to your mission on the Litchi Mission Hub then I will take a look at it for you.

Thanks - but I can't see the mission because it is still marked private in Mission Hub. Please remove the tick in the private box.

Hi,

The reason your gimbal tilt is going up and down is because you have your wp heights different from your POI height. As the distance between the WP and POI varies, the tilt angle changes. If you make them all 5m then it looks a lot better.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to look at with this mission, but if you are simply trying to inspect the sides of the building then I think you can simplify the whole thing like this :

Mission Hub - Litchi

In this mission, the gimbal is fixed horizontal the whole time. The mission is very short so it is probably better to reduce the cruising speed in VLM Settings to 4km/hr so that you can blink before it is all over!

You will probably see more of the face of the building if you fly a little higher like this :

Mission Hub - Litchi

I have changed the path to fly in straight lines rather than along the road so make sure to check the height of the trees and street lights!

Thanks. Yes all I want is the front and side of the building.
