Litchi Waypoint Mission

[trophyquestor]

Hi, I'm a bit confused and new at using Litchi to create waypoint missions. I have created several mission for my M4P and just realized the drone stops at each waypoint then takes off again at the entered speed to the next waypoint. I have tried setting the first waypoint speed then leaving the default, Cruise speed and manually entering, for example 10.0 for each waypoint. Either way the drone stops at each waypoint then takes off again. Is this normal.

Hmmn. My MP does not do that. Double-check your settings.

From the manual:

Waypoint Actions​

Actions are performed when the aircraft arrives at the waypoint. There are six different waypoint actions, three of which accept an additional parameter.
You can add up to 15 different actions for each waypoint.
Important Waypoint actions are ignored when the mission "Path Mode" is "Curved Turns" as the aircraft will not stop at waypoints then.

• Stay for: The time in seconds that the aircraft should pause at the waypoint. Maximum 32 seconds.
• Take Photo: The camera will take one picture. For this action to work, recording must of off.
• Start Recording: The camera will start recording.
• Stop Recording: The camera will stop recording.
• Rotate Aircraft: The aircraft will rotate to the specified angle. The parameter is the angle relative to North that the aircraft should rotate to (0° is North, 90° is East). For example, setting it to 270° means that the aircraft will rotate to point towards West. If the aircraft is already pointing West before starting this action, it will not rotate at all.
• Tilt Camera: The gimbal will move to the specified angle (tilt). The valid value range is +0° to -90° (look down).

Zonian, Thank you. I had default Curved Turn Size set in the setting, which I changed while trying to figure the issue out. I went back and changed individual waypoint settings so there is a hard setting for Curve of some degree in each. That did the trick. Not sure if that is the best way, but it worked so.................

Does the Mavic 4 Pro work with Litchi? If so, that’s a huge plus. Too bad I can’t buy one in the “good ole USA”.
