How to create a rangefinder based terrain following mission with QGC

Ground Control Software QGroundControl

Hi

I’m using Mission Planner for creating terrain following missions. This works fine and without any problems. The disadvantage is the need for a windows notebook on the field due to the fact, that Mission Planner runs only on Windows. A few weeks ago, I received the H16 radio from CUAV. The radio include a android system with QCG which is very nice.

Now I’m trying to find out how to create a rangefinder based terrain following mission. Can somebody help? I can change in the Takeoff command the MAV_FRAME_GLOBAL_RELATIVE_… TO MAV_FRAME_GLOBAL_TERRAIN_…

Is this the key to the rangefinder based terrain following?

Many thanks in advance

Hi Michael,

Sorry to raise the dead but I’m having the same issue, missions from MP work fine, QGC not at all. Did you find a resolution?

TIA

Hi Simon

Download the latest QGC and choose “terrain frame” for the altitude reference. I have tested it last week and it work so far.

best regards
Michael
