Advanced functionalities
• Altitude reference: The reference point of the Altitude value. When set to
m/ATO, the Altitude value is an Above Take-off (ATO) altitude. When set to
m/AMSL,the Altitude value is a AboveMean Sea Level(AMSL).The altitudes
of Setup phase waypoints (Start and Home) are always set to m/ATO.
• Turn direction: The direction with which the dronecircles aroundthe way-
point (clockwise or counter-clockwise).
• Radius: The distance at which the drone circles around the waypoint.
Note: The eBee has a limited turning radius. Setting this parameter
lower than 20 m may cause the drone to significantly deviate from its
desired flight path.
• Auto-next: Indicates whether the drone should remain on the waypoint
upon reaching it (until a new command is received) or automatically con-
tinue to the next active waypoint.
• Action: The action (if any) to be performed upon reaching the waypoint.
Supported actions include starting and stopping Continuousphoto mode¹⁷.
Setup phase parameters (Start and Home) do not have associated Actions.
• Position (coordinates): The precise latitude and longitude of the centre
of the waypoint.
Waypoints are represented in the Map Area as circles with their actual radius and
an arrow to indicate their direction. The flight path of the drone around and in
between waypoints is drawn as a line of varying opacity; the path ahead of the
drone’s current position is dark, becoming lighter the further it is from the current
position in the flight plan. The path already traversed is a uniform light colour.
If a waypoint’s Auto-next parameter is disabled, the path directly after it will be
dashed, indicating that a command must be sent for the flight to continue.
Clicking a waypoint in the Map Area will display its characteristics (waypoint ID
for mission waypoints or name for setup waypoints, altitude, radius and action)
