Understanding aerial mapping with the

swinglet CAM

Clicking on the

icon in the Multi-drone panel allows you to either connect a

new drone or to bring up the Multi-drones preferences pane.

Multi-drone
coordination

Traffic control

Network sharing

eMotion

provides Multi-drone coordination options to synchronise various way-

points and parameters among connected drones:

•

Take-off:

Synchronising the take-off applies specifically to Directional take-

off heading and transition altitude.

•

Start waypoint:

When the Start waypoint is synchronised,

eMotion

will

use the same location and altitude for the Start waypoint of each connected
drone. Every modification to the Start waypoint of one drone is thus trans-
ferred to all other drones. To prevent collisions between drones,

eMotion

will automatically create a stack by incrementing the altitude of each drone
that is currently circling the Start waypoints to ensure a 15 m separation.
The base altitude of the Start waypoint, which is the altitude of the lowest
drone in the stack, can be set in the Multi-drone Panel.

•

Home waypoint and landing:

Similarly to the Start waypoint, when the

Home waypoint is synchronised

eMotion

will us the same Home waypoint
