Planning and simulating a flight
eBee RTK while it is in flight, such as starting the mission phase or hold-
ing position. It is also used to display and acknowledge warnings that may
occur either before or during a flight.
• Toolbar: The Toolbar containsbuttons to control the layers, sources or map
informationand other display options relatedto the Map Area. eMotion can
use many sources of mapping information. You can also choose your RTK
source from the pulldown menu and click to Set Up RTK.
• Sidebar: The Sidebar is split into several tabs, each with a particular func-
tion. The Flight Monitoring tab is used for monitoring the drone while in
flight. The Setup Phase tab controls the take-off and landing portions of
a flight plan (referred to as the ‘setup phase’) whereas the Mission Plan-
ning tab defines the image acquisition portion of the flight plan (referred
to as the ‘mission phase’). The last three tabs are used for advanced way-
point planning and parameter setting. You can hide the Sidebar by clicking
on its left edge. The Sidebar also contains controls for the simulator when
connected to a simulated drone.
Your eBee RTK’s operating modes
Your eBee RTK can operate in several different modes:
Local Base, Precisely Known Coordinates
CreateDSMsand orthomosaics with highabsolute coordinateaccuracy using your
precisely measured base station position as a GCP. Useful when a survey has al-
readybeen done andreferencepoints are alreadymarked out. No post-processing
is needed to achieve RTK-level geo-tag accuracy.
• Place your base station on a known reference point.
• In eMotion, select the base station, set the reference point and base station
height.
• eMotion streams correction data to the drone through the ground modem.
