Markers

David White

I understand how markers can be used by including them in a path with waypoints.

Can they be used with the destination component?  If so, how?

    If you want to use markers on a point a to point b path, put a path component down with just one waypoint.

    Ah, that was the trick I missed.  Thank you.  Now that works the way I want it to!

    Another marker question if I may:

    When I add camera photo commands as part of one of these waypoint markers, what is the behavior of the drone when I capture a photo?  Does it pause the drone and, if not, is there a way to force that?  I did not see a drone command to do so...

    Right now it just queues up the commands and keeps moving. There is a feature on the roadmap for Marker Component Pausing.

    That would be good news!

    So, I can assume then with a destination component, I can safely add camera photo commands for execution after the destination has been achieved and the drone is hovering with desired heading, gimbal pitch, etc, correct?

    Yes, we even created and option in the simulated drone to create most of these commands for you:
