FLYING SKYDIO X2 / FLIGHT SKILLS
Waypoints (cont.)
If you need to delete a waypoint, long press on that point, then
select Delete. You can also tap the trash can icon to clear all
waypoints.
Once you’ve created your waypoint mission, enter the Waypoint
Skill settings menu to further customize the mission behavior.
• Speed - Set the speed at which Skydio X2 will move
between waypoints.
• Lost Comms - Tell Skydio X2 what to do if it loses
connection to the controller during a mission. By
default the drone will Return to Home if it loses
connection, however you can set it to Continue the
mission instead. If Skydio X2 does not regain
connection upon completion of the mission, it will
then Return to Home once the mission is complete.
• Photo at Waypoint - Set Skydio X2 to take a photo at each
waypoint.
NOTE: If this setting is toggled on, and the drone is in Video
mode, Skydio X2 will automatically switch to Photo mode upon
starting or resuming a mission. The drone will switch back into
Video mode upon pausing a mission, completing a mission, or
exiting the Waypoints skill.
If you switch to Video mode while a mission is active the
drone will automatically switch back to Photo mode at each
waypoint, capture the image, then switch back to Video mode.
This will result in a separate video file for each flight segment
between waypoints.
When you’re ready to begin your mission, tap the Play button to
start. Skydio X2 will autonomously move through each waypoint
in the mission, and then once complete it will hover in place.
Once you’ve created your mission, it is stored on the controller
and will persist across flights and reboots. However, only one
waypoint mission may be defined at a time – you cannot save
and load between multiple missions.
NOTE: Waypoint missions are stored on the controller, however
the skill settings for that mission (speed between waypoints, lost
communication behavior, and photo at waypoint) are stored on
the vehicle. If you run the same mission with different vehicles,
make sure to set your Waypoint skill settings for each drone.
Waypoint missions can be created and edited offline without
being connected to a drone. See the Plan your Waypoint
Mission section on page 22 for more information.
