I can't see why not. At the completion of a mission you can tell the drone to stay where it is rather than return to home. While it is there you should be able to load and execute the next mission.

I routinely generate .CSV files in my own app. Written in VBA for MS Access. It may or may not be useful to you as it is designed to fly a rectangular grid of waypoints. You can specify spacing of waypoints (E-W and N-S), orientation of survey, altitude etc and it creates the .CSV. Image of...

I have never seen that problem I have flown 60+ missions with Litchi and save .CSVs on each of them. When I reload the CSVs they reproduce the original mission without any problems. I routinely generate .CSV files in my own app. Written in VBA for MS Access. It may or may not be useful to you...

Happy to share the app with you but it is written for Access not Excel. I could look at converting to Excel but probably not for a few weeks. And yes I now use Import Photos in QGIS. There was a problem a few weeks ago when after double clicking a few photo locations it stopped displaying the...

I have come back to Litchi after about a year and am getting peculiar results with the export option. I use relative to ground (RTG) altitudes and in the Litchi app I see both the relative to start (RTS) and computed RTG altitude at each point on the map (see attached image). Also when I save...

Thanks dolphindancer. That's what I now do. I put a 2 sec pause at the first waypoint then, having set the timer mode, I manually press the shutter. Once the last waypoint is reached I stop the photos. I normally set flight speed at 15 m/s and set the timer to 3 or 5 sec depending on altitude...

With my P4P I can set interval timer to 3 seconds and record 20 megapixel images. At 2 seconds it will work ok for several shots and then takes a breather before taking the next timed shot. I presume this relates to the write speed of the SD card and buffering occurring within the system.

I am not talking about time-lapse photography at a single location. I am talking about timed photography where the drone is moving at a constant speed so shots should be spaced evenly. In the former case, you wouldn't notice whether shots were taken at a precisely constant rate. In my case shot...

Most missions I fly are used for orthophoto generation. As a result a typical flight will consist of multiple parallel flight lines with equispaced photos along each line (normally 60 or so in all) I use a VBA application that I wrote to generate the Litchi flight plan as a CSV file which I...

Certainly working fine for me in Australia. I have used Mission Hub multiple times during the last week.

Litchi CSV files are pretty easy to fabricate if you have any knowledge of VBA (Excel, Access). The Litchi CSV format is straightforward (one waypoint per line) but is a bit intimidating when all columns are present including actions. Litchi will accept a CSV with just the first two columns...

71 P4, P4P and Mavic. Interesting question but is anyone going to collate the responses?

No I was just doing a standard waypoint mission with a photo at each waypoint as I have done many times before.
