Has anybody written a Dronelink Glossary?

V. Kelly Bellis

Hi, just curious if anybody here has put together a glossary for all of the various terms and their meanings which are exclusive to Dronelink? If not, is this something to think about doing sometime?

    I think there was a list somewhere that was compiled exposing the old and new terms

    No glossary or “actual documentation” but lots of tutorials here.

    Not sure what he was referring to, but maybe this:

    Thanks, that looks like a good place for starters. In general, were the names changed to more accurately reflect the meanings, which themselves did not change?

    For example, is a WAYPOINT always implicit of a sequential PATH?

    Is a CHECKPOINT always implicit with a fixed position (DESTINATION) irrespective of sequence?

    In case you're wondering, I went looking for a glossary to better understand the differences between a CHECKPOINT and a WAYPOINT as they both seemed to be likely candidates for the Import kmz's Import Type. CHECKPOINT worked fine, by the way, once you told me "can’t include motion components inside of other motion components. In this case you would just need to add it after the checkpoint.". Which I also understood CHECKPOINT to additionally have the MOTION attribute; i.e., it's more than just a static destination.
