Simulation mode

Simulate your flightplan before taking it to the field! More information on the simulation page.

Navigation commands become Gluonscript

From now on we'll no longer talk about waypoints and navigation commands, but use Gluonscript instead (or simple call it a flightplan)!

Function calls in your flightplan

Want to trigger your camera or switch from camera 1 to camera 2? Now you will be able to do this directly from the GCS using the "Return" command:

  BLOCK(TriggerCamera)
  SERVO_SET(6, 2000)
  RETURN

Alarms in your flightplan

Thanks to some architectural changes, you will be able to add alarm settings to your flight plan. Automatically land when your voltage drops critically low? No problem!

CIRCLE_TO command

The circle_to command allows you to fly pretty circuit-shaped patterns.

Improved GPS handling

In the previous version, the flightplan was only executed if there was data coming from the GPS unit. From now on this will work independently.

Gluon control station Auf Deutch

I've put some effort in internationalisation of the application. Now you can easily translate it into your own language. Markus already did a great job in translating everything into German! Please select your language in the Settings dialog.
