Copter: heading control in precision landing #3328

Open derekxm opened 8 years ago

derekxm commented 8 years ago

Precision landing should be able to control the heading as well as the position of the copter. For example, if the copter is trying to landing on a battery swapping station, the heading of the copter is very important for battery swapping mechanism to engage correctly.

This is being addressed here: https://github.com/mavlink/mavlink/pull/432

I think it'll take some changes on the copter side as well though so let's leave this one open I think.

Does precision landing control heading yet?

rmackay9 commented 5 years ago

No it doesn't I'm afraid

@rishabsingh3003 is this issue still valid?

rishabsingh3003 commented 3 years ago

@IamPete1 yes this issue is still valid. At the moment we expect users to control yaw manually via RC. What does the user want? The heading should point towards the direction of where the copter is going (i.e point nose towards landing target)? I think this is a one-line trivial change and should be easy to do... otherwise, we can always control yaw via Lua/Mavlink scripts..
