constant ascent speed

Leon Overkamp

How can I get a constant speed between action points when ascending vertically. I have 2 action points, one from a height of 1m with a horizontal speed of 0 km/h and the second with the same speed but then to a height of 26m. But I see the drone increasing in speed while climbing between the 2 actions pionts

    We really need to see you plan so we understand what your specifically looking for. DL isn’t designed for this type of function and has been discussed before. May try using a Check-Point (Destination Component) if you want to try that. That component is what is used at start or every plan and it will always ascend up first before moving forward.

    As discussed in the link below you can try setting the second markers interpolation to none but still may have issues when running actual mission depending on the drone and all the advanced app settings. Please let us know. Good luck.

    Link to one previous thread from awhile ago about vertical climbs.

    The horizontal and vertical speed is a multi-variable equation that solves for many parameters including distance between points, curvature of the path, and the maximum velocity and accelerations you have specified. Even in the best case scenario, the drone cannot fly at a constant velocity on a vertical portion of the path because it has to accelerate and decelerate into the motion.

    I understand that the speed cannot be completely constant. But in my case the speed increases from 0 to 3 mtr/h over a vertical distance of 26 mtr

    Then as Mike stated:

    Open the plan you want to share. Go to the top where the three dots are. Scroll down to share and then copy and paste to here.

    I hope this works.
    The intention is that I have a constant speed between action point 1 and 2 in ascending height. Now the drone increases in speed to about 3 mtrs per second over 26 mtrs
