RELEASE NOTES version 2.9 update 1
IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES
- For ArduPilot (Pixhawk) vehicles: Home location altitude is now used to calculate altitude for whole route (used as altitude origin). If the Home Location is changed, so is the altitude origin;
- For WKM, NAZA and Phantom 2 vehicles VSM: "Continue" command is disabled during "Click&Go" mode for safety reasons;
- For DJI Wookong-M Yaw action has been removed due to flight controller specifics;
- Vehicle speed handling has been improved:
- Route planner now uses all three max speeds from vehicle profile to make sure that vehicle flies along straight line between waypoints;
- User specified speed on waypoints is treated as speed along the (3D) vector between the two waypoints
- User is warned if speed, larger than allowed max speed in vehicle profile, is set (the route is still calculated).
- Linux client: Linux build available for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (instalation information here: http://apt.ugcs.com/doc/);
- Desktop client: added "Max climb rate" and "Max descent rate" parameters in vehicle profiles & removed unused values;
- Documentation: updated actual values at User manual Appendix;
- Documentation: updated Joystick configuration info;
- Fixed issue with camera triggering when using Photogrammetry tool with DJI A2;
- Fixed wrong speed vector proportions on small screens in Telemetry window;
- Corrected WP speed validation;
- Area scan route calculation improved for complex elevation profile;
- Fixed multi-user vehicle "locking not working" for Arm & Auto commands.
RELEASE NOTES version 2.9
IMPROVEMENTS AND CHANGES
- Algorithms, actions and fail-safe options are now dependend on the autopilot capabilities;
- AreaScan divided into two planning tools:
- Photogrammetry tool - areascanning depending on GSD and overlaps;
- AreaScan – simplified tool depending on specified altitude (AGL/AMSL) and side distance between passes;
- New options have been added to both tools:
- configurable Overshoot (primary for fixed-wing users);
- ability to set actions only on Forward pass
- ability to choose the type of height (altitude type) AMSL or AGL;
- Added experimental function for georeferenced image (like GeoTiff) import. Later will be available only in Pro version;
- Added profiles and vehicle platforms for DJI Phantom 4 and Matrice 100;
- Platform "DJI Phantom 2 or NAZA-M V2" has been divided into 2 platforms;
- Added experimental support for joysticks (for VSM Ardupilot, VSM DJI, VSM Emulator);
- Implemented functionality to plan long routes - upload only part of the waypoints from arbitrary start point. Now you can change the battery anywhere in the route;
- CAMERA TRIGGER button is temporary disabled for DJI A2, WK-M, Naza-m v2. Will be fixed in a few weeks.
