APM Planner (Antenna Tracking) #683

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Allow a home position and a alternate position.

Be able to place a marker down at an alternate location should the antenna not 
be at the same place as the home position.

IE.  The car and antenna tracker are off 30m to the side of where I am flying 
and thus I don't have to be flying from the Antenna's location at all.  

Motivation.  Not only will this assist me so I don't have an antenna in the 
way, right where I am suposed to land or fly from, but also it will allow for 
easy antenna setup and trimming seperate from flight procedures.

Is there a way to find out if my enhancement has been accepted and if and when 
Michael will be looking to add this into MP?

I'm thinking the reason you don't want to set Home as where the antenna is, is 
that you are using the APM for fully autonomous take off and landing?

If not then I would suggest just using the Home location as the Antenna 
location and make sure your Home Location altitudes are set correctly, that way 
an RTL should not land but will loiter when it arrives, then you go to manual 
control to land.

If you want full autonomy take off to landing...indeed it would need some 
re-writing, but also to the APM1 Ardutracker code perhaps in order to 
accomodate for offsets.  (assuming you have an APM1 with Ardutracker code for 
the actual tracking...)

I am aiming for full autonomy.  I am only using APM PLanner, no ardutracker 
involved.  I think Michael would only need to add a couple of lines of code to 
his APM planner and then all would be well.

This is a feature I really REALLY need....
