Follow-me mode

Open dccourt opened this issue 11 years ago • 3 comments

On devices that support it (i.e. most modern phones and tablets that have geolocation), it'd be cool to be able to use the HTML5 location APIs to enable automatic follow-me mode.

At it's simplest, this would mean simply automatically setting the guided-mode waypoint based on current device coordinates, but it's probably more useful to maintain some small distance between current location and target waypoint.

Perhaps that could simply be a timer-based queue of coordinate updates, linked to a configuration on the UAV that tells it to accept a fairly lax radius for the waypoint.

This is a worthwhile feature to add, but I'm overcommitted at the moment, can someone volunteer to work on this?

I'm up for working on it once I get up to speed.
