Originally, both the planning and output of the control files with
uavRmp
was intended for terrain/surfaces with high relief
energy and supported direct upload to the 3DR Solo
Drone
and the CSV based interface of the Litchi
software for
DJI
drones, respectively.
The PixHawk
based UAVs can be flown directly from
QGroundcontrol
.
Note: If a higher resolved resolution terrain is to
be taken into account for planning, uavRmp
must be used beforehand to perform this terrain
analysis for flight planning. The control file must then be reloaded
into QGroundcontrol
as a waypoint file and can thean be
used as a flight control file.
Open the control file via QGroundcontrol or one of its derivates and proceed like usual.
3DR Solo: solo_upload("export_1001_solo.waypoints")
For the DJI
consumer drones there is no opensource or
inexpensive planning tool. As a flight control app, the powerful and
very inexpensive Litchi
is a good choice. The output of
both Qgroundcontrol
and uavRmp
planned surveys
is a Litchi
CSV control file. After upload/import the
flights are available via the Litchi mission Hub
Cloud.
Open Litchi Mission and click on the button ‘’Missions->Import’’ and navigate to the control file firstSurvey_1001.csv. To export it click ‘’Missions->Save’’.
