CCC and UAV 'missions'....

[mcbutler]

Just a quick thought.
When using the UAV toolbox or other flight programmers does the H need to stay in contact with the ST16 to carry out the 'mission'? or does the ST16 upload the data to the H and off it goes on its merry way?

good question. I would assume it would stay connected but.... would love to know for sure.

if not I am sending mine down the shop for my newspaper and selling the dog

The drone is capable of flying by itself - the flight controller in the H gets the mission and flies it independently of the ST-16.

*However* if the drone looses contact with the ST-16, it will enter return to home mode and stop any playback.

At least, that's my understanding. I've not had the courage (or bad luck) to test it!

Ok, we need a willing volunteer, anyone????
