Stay in hover, use a switch stick to resume the mission

Hello

I am trying to create a mission to establish waypoints as points of view. The idea is: the copter reaches a waypoint and maintains the hover mode until I switch some stick in order to continue to the next point of view (resume the mission), and so on. Some idea how can integrate a “switch stick” to my mission.

thank you

If your flight controller supports Lua scripting, it wouldn’t be tough to script this behavior.

Why not just use a switch between Auto and loiter mode?
You fly in auto and with a small delay at desired WPS , then you change it n loiter mode for as long as you wish. After that resume auto with a flick if the switch.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. It’s clearly the simplest solution!

I never used [Lua scripting], but I will investigate that…I think will be very useful for many needs…

thank you very much…Yuri
