Yes. Mission speed can be changedadjusted, but the mission should be paused as it will not change otherwise. Once you pause the mission, you may enter the general settings tab by tapping the WISPR Wispr logo in the top rightleft, and change the speed of the mission using the dropdown.

Yes! You can upload KML files onto WISPRGroundControl WisprGroundControl in a couple of ways.

• You can copy the KML file from the SD card inserted into the SD card slot on the smart controller into the WGC/Missions folder found on the smart controller. You may do this by using the Android OS file manager on the smart controller.

• You may also connect the smart controller to your computer and copy the KML file from your computer to the mission folder.

If I need to stop a mission while it is in progress and return to launch, do I have to start the mission over completely from the first waypoint on the next launch?

No, the mission does not need to be restarted. A pause feature exists that allows you to stop pause the mission in order to land, power down , change (or hot-swap if using one) the batteries, repower, and resume the mission from the most recent waypoint before the pause. Below are the steps to achieve this:

• Select the pause button on the left toolbar (typically, try to pause immediately after the drone has just passed a waypoint in the mission).

• Return the drone to launch , and land.

• Once landed, a “Flight Plan Complete” Plan” menu will appear on the right side of the screen. You will see several a few options, one being “Resume Mission From Waypoint X?” Select that option.

  • The plan will be re-written once you select this, so give 5-10 seconds before powering down the drone.

• Power down the drone.

• Close WISPRGroundControl.

• Repower the drone, and open WISPRGroundControl again. Allow the parameters to load.

• You may now resume the mission, and it will start from the most recent waypoint.

• this option to resume from the last waypoint the drone reached in the mission when relaunched.

Wispr offers a hot-swap cable option included in all packages.

An important part of Wispr drone packages is the hot-swap cable, which is inserted into the front of the drone where the battery is usually plugged in. The hot-swap cable is not necessary for every flight, but is used when the drone is returned to launch to allow the pilot to replace a depleted battery without shutting down the drone. This is done by connecting the fresh battery to the unoccupied XT90 plug, and unplugging the depleted battery from the occupied plug. This switch needs to be done rather quickly. When the plug swap is complete, remove the depleted battery from the drone in order to load the fresh one.
