WISPR Ground Control
Version | v1.1.0 |
---|
New Features | Added support for Gremsy ZIO inspection payload. Added ability to send drone’s position to CORS network to receive RTCM corrections from network. Moved NTRIP settings to a tab separate from General / WISPR settings. This allows for quicker access to NTRIP settings and status. Added connection status to NTRIP page. Added Figure 8 mission item to mission planning. This allows for a Figure 8 to be added as a part of a mission, rather than having it be performed separately from the mission. The Figure 8 mission item allows for a smoother transition between the Figure 8 and the rest of the mission. The drone will always fly from the end of the Figure 8 to the first waypoint in the mission at 10m/s. Added setting to add LiDAR recalibration waypoints to a Corridor Scan every 600m that the drone will go without turning. This setting can be enabled in the WISPR section of General Settings page. Added mission planning setting to perform loop turnarounds to reexcite LiDAR IMUs during turns in Corridor Scan and Surveys. This setting can be selected within the Polygon settings after selecting "Done with Polygon" when planning the Corridor Scan or Survey. Added setting to swap video streams. This setting can be found in the WISPR section of the General Settings page.

Bug Fixes | Fixed bug found when running multiple vertical scans in the same flight that caused each vertical scan after the first to be ran at the azimuth at which the first vertical scan was run. Fixed bug causing certain rangefinders to not work properly.

WISPR Flight Firmware
Version | v0.7.0 |
---|
New Features | Only allow Loiter, Land, and RTL flight modes after a low battery failsafe has been triggered. Only allow supported flight modes (RTL, Land, Auto, Loiter, and Guided). If an unsupported flight mode is selected, the drone will go into Loiter mode instead. If a low battery failsafe RTL has been canceled, continuously display Low Battery Message every 30s. Start drone in Loiter mode from firmware so the drone starts in Loiter no matter what GCS is used. Added Payload parameter so that the firmware can access the payload and manipulate flight characteristics based on the payload selected.

|
---|
Bug Fixes | Fixed Bug in Custom RTL. Before the custom RTL, the drone would trigger an RTL with around 35% battery left. The custom RTL will trigger so that the drone lands with 20% - 25% battery left, allowing for increased flight time. Moved “Slide To Confirm” Popups up on the screen so that they do not overlap with Flight Data. Removed unsupported mission commands from Mission Planning screen. Updated default mission speed to 10m/s. If there is no mission on drone after completing LiDAR calibration, the drone is set to LOITER mode instead of remaining in GUIDED. Fixed issue causing Application settings to revert after updates. Removed battery health display until it can be further evaluated.

New Features | Added 5s - 8s full throttle straight shot to beginning of Figure 8. This straight shot helps calibrate the Lidar. Added option to adjust mission speed within WISPR Settings. When Lidar is selected as the payload, RTL speed set to 10m/s. Otherwise, RTL speed is set to the the mission speed. This feature was added so that the user can distinguish Lidar data collected during the mission from Lidar data while the drone is RTLing. Drone immediately goes into AUTO mode after a Figure 8 is ran. Added “Avia Livox Lidar” and “Hesai Lidar” when selecting camera type in a mission.

New Features | Battery health is now displayed after every flight. If the battery health displayed is below 90%, it is highly discouraged to fly with that battery. Added custom battery failsafe. This failsafe replaces the current low battery failsafe. This should extend flight time. An RTL will now be triggered so that the drone will return to its home location and land at 20%. Canceling this RTL is highly discouraged and only should be done in case of emergency. If the RTL is canceled, the drone should be landed immediately to prevent a crash or battery degredation.
