Waypoints Question
Hello. How can I set a pause command for x amount of seconds to the drone so it stays in its location lets say 15 sec. and then continue the mission? I looked at the drone command in dronelink but I did not fine any info.
Thanks in advance for any input/information

Add a Wait component.
Thanks for the info. That is what a have done but it slows the foward motion but it does not come to a full stop for x amount of seconds and then continue to the next waypoint
You have to terminate the previous path, add the wait, then start a new path.
I am sorry I dont understand your answer. terminate previous path?
You need to use two path components. Finish one, do the wait, then start another.
I have already a mission with eleven waypoints. So I would have to scrap this mission and start a completely new mission to be able to accomplish what i am trying to do
Just copy/paste the current Path, and delete the proceeding waypoints from the first one, and the preceding waypoints from the second one maybe?
Thanks for helping me out. is there any writting or video on how to add a (wait) command?
Open the component navigator:
Click new component:
Then wait:
Thanks for responding. That is how I have been setting it. Unfortunately it does not work. When it gets to the wait componet marker it does not stop. I set in for 20 sec. to pause.
That's the problem. You can't use a wait component in a marker like that. Wait in a marker just means "wait that duration between commands" such as take a picture, wait 5 seconds, then take another picture. It does not affect the motion. If you want to do that, you have to do what I suggested.
A (stay for x amount o sec.) command would be a great if it could added to any marker. Unfortuonely I will have to do without that wait component as I can't figure it out. Thanks for all your help and time.
Sorry, that's just not how Path / Markers work right now. Is there a reason you don't want to just have two Paths?
Is there a way you can look at my mission ?

it came to a full stop then in droped to 100 AGL and the camera whent to -90 then rised to its proper altitued and conitued mission. Is that how it is ? Thanksagain for the help
I just took a quick stab at showing you how to use two paths. You can modify the parameters of the second path to make it do what you want from here I think?
Oh Ok. May I ask hou you added the 2nd approach in the existent mission? Sorry but new to dronelink. I come from litchi but Dronelink is a totally new animal that I need to learn.
It is the same steps as adding the Wait component (see above), you just click Path instead.
Thank you for all this time you have taken to explain. Unortunately I still can not replicate the way you set it up. I will talk to a friend that might help me out. Again thank you for all the time taken and great explanation. God Bless
