WISPR Flight Settings

• Payload - Allows user to select the payload attached to the drone. Selecting a payload is not necessary to fly the drone- although when a payload is selected this automatically sets the camera type/LiDAR when planning a mission and adjusts flight characteristics optimized for the selected payload.

• Display Compass - Allows user to display the compass on the fly screen when checked.

• Enable proximity sensor - Allows user to enable/disable collision avoidance. Use extreme caution when disabling this setting.

• Proximity sensor distance (m) -Determines the range that the proximity sensor will detect objects within (in meters). This is adjusted via the drop down menu.

• Continue camera trigger distance during RTL - Camera trigger distance will remain the same and take pictures at the same rate during an RTL.

• Manual Flight Speed (m/s) - Determines how fast the drone travels when operated with the controller’s joysticks. This is measured in meters per second.

• Mission Speed (m/s) - Determines how fast the drone travels when conducting a mission. This is also measured in meters pers second.

• RTL Altitude (m) - Height (in meters) the drone will climb before returning to launch.

• Enable terrain follow during RTL and Land - When selected, drone uses terrain data while drone is performing an RTL or Land sequence.

• Center gimbal during RTL of mission - When selected, Gimbal is centered to 0 degrees while drone is performing an RTL sequence after completing a mission.

• Enable GCS Failsafe - If this box is checked, any disconnection between the Smart Controller and the Drone will cause the Drone to RTL as soon as a disconnection is detected.

• Maintain previous mission data - When selected, data from the previous mission will continue to be present when planning a new mission.

• Guided Maximum Altitude - Minimum value for guided actions altitude slider.

• Go To Location Max Distance - The maximum distance that a Go To location can be set from the current vehicle location (in guided mode).

...

Plan View

Shows user default altitude for Mission Start

• Default Mission Altitude - The default altitude used for the Mission Start Panel. This can can be used for the first waypoit in a mission but we suggest to use the mission planner as the height for the mission itself.

...

RTK GPS

• This allows you to specify the RTK GPS "Survey-in" settings, to save and reuse the result of a Survey-In operation, or to directly enter any other known position for the base station.

• For a faster RTK lock, the user may use the “Use Specified Base Position” selection. The user will enter in the Latitude and Longitude of the base station. This information can be found using Maps on a smartphone.
