Plane following a moving object. #820

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hello;

I want my plane to follow a moving object. Therefore I need to change the 
waypoints in real time with an external program. So how can we modify the 
waypoints sent from Mission Planner externally in real time.

Thanks for your help already.

Thanks for the reply.

This feature looks good but it only sends data through a GPS dongle. However I 
want to calculate the GPS data of the target on my computer and then send it to 
the APM.

How do you intend to obtain the GPS location of the target using your computer 
if the target will not be carrying and transmitting GPS?  I think with enough 
tech background you could probably find a way to inject this lat/long data from 
your external program into the follow me command...I just can't visualize where 
the data would come from for a moving target.
