Mission Question

[resq3129]

Can someone please tell me how (if possible) I can adjust the time it takes for the Autel Evo to turn around at the end of row in a mission? Mine is taking about 45 seconds to turn around and start the next row. I put a call into Autel and they said they would try to recreate the issue but I have not heard back from them in a week now.
I did not have the app set to take any pictures and the speed was 11 mph, course side lap ratio of 59%. It says total time should have been 3 minutes 28 seconds to cover 3,415 feet (It was a soccer field i was doing). Any help would be appreciated due to I am trying to get my boss to buy the Autel Evo and obviously the first time he saw it trying to fly a mission it did this so he is starting to look at other options.

You can't or if you can, but you have to do it on the board.
You count the number of waypoints you will have on the route that you multiply by 45 seconds (time to stop and change position at the point) that you add to the time of the mission that Explorer gives for the route. This will give you the total mission time (approximate).
Yes, the evo must be based on the PX4 platform (same error as Yuneec), it cannot do a total route without stopping at each point (change of direction or altitude). You must take this into account over the course of the total journey where there is a risk of returning to RTH and of not finishing the mission if it is long.
And there is no way to change this pause time at each point.
The option not to have stops in the routes is to pass on another platform which hardly transitions and curves without stopping.

Thank you, My concern was burning up battery time, 45 seconds to turn around on a simple mission like a soccer field with only 6 legs (app says 12 way points) sounds crazy . You are burning approx 10 minutes of battery so the drone can just sit there and do nothing but move a few feet over.

can you recommend another platform ?

The master of current UAVs and full of third-party software that revolves around its devices and that automates functions.
But on the other hand, you will be blocked by the geofence and NFZ, which is annoying when you find yourself at the foot of a mission that you cannot start.

Thank you. guess Autel is going to loosing alot of money on this one, they were thinking of ordering at least 50 of these due to the not having geofence, live deck and ease of deployment. but i guess Autel will have to work out some issues first. They have another company coming in after the new year to do a demonstration with another maker of drones.
