The visualization now has an arrow marker pointing to the target waypoint.
A TODO still left is to plot the orbit path when flying an orbit.
@iandareid I have some thoughts about how to implement plotting the orbit.
orbit_last
parameter is changed.
orbit_last
param at a certain interval, or whenever waypoint indices are incremented.
orbit_last
parameter changeorbit_last
parameter is changed at just the wrong time)What are your thoughts?
It is also worth noting that the path_manager already has some "contamination", meaning that it has to publish a target waypoint for the visualizer. However, this doesn't rely on or look for a specific node in order to call a service.
@JMoore5353 I think that having them as separate as possible is better. Another factor that may influence your decision:
So in short maybe there is a third option? I think either of the things you propose would be great, but I would suggest that the less decoupled version may be better.
That's great, I like that option better. We would only see the orbit / fillet when the aircraft is following that part of the path, but I think that is acceptable.
The visualization currently plots all waypoints and numbers them. Sometimes it is hard to know what the target waypoint is. Add something to the visualizer to know what the next waypoint is.
Also maybe plot the orbit?
