What's New:

‍

LiDAR Tools for Ardu and PX4 Vehicles*

• LiDAR flight planning using FOV angle is now possible for Ardupilot and PX4 vehicles
• LiDAR Area, LiDAR Corridor, and Pattern tools have been unlocked for these drones
• Current support of LiDAR tools for Ardu and PX4 is experimental. Adjustable corner radius and loop turns are not available.
• For smoother cornering on Ardupilot, users should use Spline turn type, and "Waypoint acceptance radius" parameter within drone profile can be increased (e.g., from 2 to 5 m)

‍

Point-of-Interest (POI) for DJI M-Series Drones

• POI action is now available for drones using direct Pilot 2 connection (or route export to Pilot 2)
• POI action is now available in all route planning tools for these drones
• POI action is automatically added in Circle tool when planning routes for these drones

‍

Fixed

• In the route properties it was not possible to select some failsafe actions.
• Fixed a bug causing the application to freeze in some rare cases.
• Application icon not displaying in the application list.

‍

Changed
