If I start with Go4 and record my home point through it and later switch to Litchi, what happens to the home point? Would Litchi change the home point when it is launched?
What I’m thinking of doing is, fly out to a location using Go4, switch to Litchi to take a pano (my FW & Go4 version doesn’t allow pano), switch back to Go4 and complete the flight.
Thoughts?
The reason I’m not completing the whole flight using Litchi is because I have 0 hours flight time with it and will probably not have time to use it before this flight.
Litchi won’t overwrite the homepoint (which is stored in the aircraft). Don’t forget, even if your app crashes and your RC disconnects the aircraft will still return to home. Well, provided that’s what you’ve set it to do upon a disconnect
The only time Litchi might cause a different effect is if you were running a mission as I think you then have options to control what happens after the missions ends, such as RTH, ‘do nothing’, etc. But that won’t affect you for a pano.
Looking forward to your results, I’ve never tried a pano in Litchi before!
In ordinary fpv flight mode you won’t really notice much difference. So, just do it all in Litchi.
As Rich said, the home point is set at takeoff by the Mavic, and stored in it. So this isn’t an issue.
As I was sat by the sea earlier, I knew there was something I’d wanted to try … and now I remember what it was. Litchi Pano!
Never used Litchi for pano myself, yet.
Tomorrow!
Go to the phones settings for apps, go to Go4, go to its “Open by Default” and clear that.
Then when you switch on the RC, you’ll be offered both Go4 and Litchi - with the option to Always use that the selected app, or Just Once.
Select the Just Once option!!
When switching, between apps … make sure you have totally closed the app you are leaving. Don’t leave it in background.
I don’t have the ‘open by default’ option. Closest thing to it is ‘autostart’ and that’s turned off. Next closest thing is ‘start in background’, this is turned on. Could this be it?
