= Circle =
In the '''!MikroKopter-OSD''' you will get with a "click" in the tab '''"!WayPoints"''' to '''"Generator..."''' into the !WayPoint-Generator.<

{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100814&g2_serialNumber=2}} <
><
>
Here you can choose now the tab '''"Circle"'''. <
><
>
With this function you are able to create a circle of any size with !WayPoints (WP) and a '''"POI"''' ('''__P__'''oint '''__O__'''f '''__I__'''nterest) located in the center. <
>
The '''"POI"''' is marking here a spot which should be flown around by the Kopter.<
>
The Kopter and the camera will be automatically aligned to the '''"POI"''' and can take photos/images at each !WayPoint.

= Example 1 - Fly around a POI + Trigger camera per WP =
In this example we want to fly around a sight on the ground with a height of 20mtr. and a radius of 50mtr.<
>
Out of 10 different directions we want to take photos/images.<
><
>
'''Step 1''' <
>
First at all you need to mark the spot on the map where the '''"POI"''' is. That is the center-point where the circle with the !WayPoints builts up.<
>
Here you need to make a "Left click" with your mouse on the appropriate location in the map. <
>
At this point appears a marking point {{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100161&g2_serialNumber=1}}.<
><
>
'''Step 2''' <
>
In the next step you need to enter the numbers of !WayPoints where a photo should be taken.<
>
The rotation determines the direction from where the Kopter begins the flight.<
>
* '''Radius [m]''' = 50
* '''#WPs''' = 10
* '''"Grid Rotation [°]"''' = 0°.
<
>
'''INFO:''' <
>
If you want to fly a complete closed circle you can activate '''''Add point to close circle'''''.<
>
In this case an extra waypoint is placed to the first waypoint.<
><
>
'''Step 3''' <
>
If you want you can also determine the direction (counter-clockwise ('''CCW''') or clockwise ('''CW''')) the !WayPoints should be flown.<
><
>
'''Step 4''' <
>
Now we need to set up the height for the !WayPoints. <
>
* '''Altitude [m]''' = 20
<
>
The radius you can set on 10. <
>
* '''Radius[m]''' = 10 =>
* In order to reach the !WayPoint even in windy weather you should not set a too small radius.
* As soon as the Kopter reaches the radius of the !WayPoint the "Delay Time" starts to count down for the !WayPoint.
'''Step 5''' <
>
Now you need to set the speed in which the Kopter flies to the !WayPoints, the Delay Time per !WayPoint <
>
and the WP-Event to trigger the camera at the !WayPoint.<
>
* '''Speed[0.1m/s]''' = 5
* '''Climb rate[0.1m/s]''' = 30
* Has right now no influence because all WP's are in the same height.
* '''Delay Time:[s]''' = 10
* '''WP event''' = 100
'''Step 6''' <
>
Those set up !WayPoints need to be created. For that just simply "click" on '''"Generate"'''. <
>
(!) '''__Hint__'''<
>
Is '''"Delete existing WPs"''' marked the already existing !WayPoints on the map will be deleted with a "click" on "Generate".<
>
If you take the checkmark out of the box several circles can be placed over each other at various points on the map.<
><
><
>
'''Example View:''' <
>
[[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100860&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100862&g2_serialNumber=2}}]]
<
><
>
After a "click" on the button '''"Generate"''' those !WayPoints with the settings will be entered automatically into the '''!WayPoint-Editor''': <
><
>
[[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100855&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100857&g2_serialNumber=2}}]]
<
><
>
In the editor you can see that the first entry is the '''"POI"''' and the following ones the !WayPoints (No. 2-11). <
><
>
After that you enter the '''"POI"''' and the !WayPoints into the map. The '''"POI"''' is here the "blue point" (P1) in the map: <
><
>
[[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100485&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100488&g2_serialNumber=2}}]]
<
><
>
== Align camera ==
With the generator "Circle" the Kopter will be aligned automatically in that way that the camrea points always to the "POI".<
>
The camera points with the camera tilt on the pre-set height of the "POI". For that reason that in this example the "POI" is on the ground and not in a height of 20mtr. it need to be adjusted. <
><
>
'''__Modification in the Editor__'''<
>
How alignes the camera? Each !WayPoint has a settings: <
>
* '''Altitude''' = 20
* This is the altitude of the Kopter at the !WayPoint
* '''Heading''' = P1
* The Kopter rotates with this settings automatically and always to the first "POI" (P1).
* '''CAM-Nick''' = AUTO
* The camera mount points automatically on the pre-set height of the "POI".
In the '''"Editor"''' the same height of 20mtr for the '''"POI"''' is entered like for the !WayPoints. <
>
But our "POI" is located on the ground. So that the camera is pointing downwards to the "POI" the desired height need to be adjusted.<
><
>
Here you need to mark with a "mouse-click" the POI-Value "20" in the editor.<
>
With "F2" you are able now to edit and modify the value. In this example we assume a height for the "POI" of 1mtr. <
>
This will be entered and confirmed with a "click" on "Enter".<
><
>
[[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100846&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100849&g2_serialNumber=2}}]]
<
><
>
(!) '''HINT'''<
>
So that the camera can align itself correctly, the camera tilt should be aligned horizontally during a start.
<
><
>
Now the !WayPoints can be transferred to the Kopter and be flown. How this works is explained under [[#Wegpunkteflug|"The WayPoint Flight"]].
<
><
>
= Example 2 - POI-Flight in different heights + Trigger camera per WP =
In this example a tower should be flown around automatically in two different heights. Those captured photos/images can be merged i.e. into a panorama. <
>
Also here we want to take a radius of 50mtr. and photos should be taken out of 10 different directions.<
>
The first height for the flight around the tower should be 20mtr and the second one should be 40mtr. <
><
>
'''First circle'''<
>
The settings for the first flight are the same like explained in '''Example 1''' and entered into the map.<
><
>
'''Second Circle'''<
>
The second flight has the same settings. Only the height is different and need to be changed under "Altitude" to 40mtr.<
>
For that reason that the Kopter should do both flights together you must place the second circle over the first one.<
>
Here you need to remove the check mark in '''"Delete existing WPs"'''.
<
>
'''INFO:''' <
>
If you want to fly a complete closed circle you can activate '''''Add point to close circle'''''.<
>
In this case an extra waypoint is placed to the first waypoint.<
><
>
Into the '''Climb rate''' you can enter 30 (or a different value). Here will be determined how fast the Kopter will climb between the !WayPoints. <
>
In this case it concerns the rise between the last !WayPoint of the lower circle and the first !WayPoint of the top circle.
<
><
>
'''Example View:''' <
>
[[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100865&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100867&g2_serialNumber=2}}]]
<
><
>
After a "click" on '''"Generate"''' (6) the first !WayPoints (No. 2-11) with the first "POI"
will be entered into the Editor. <
>
After the change of the altitude (7) and the removing of the check mark in "Delete existing WP's" (8) and a "click" on '''"Generate"''' (9) the new !WayPoints (No. 13-22) are appearing with the second "POI" in the editor under the already existing ones: <
><
>
[[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100850&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100852&g2_serialNumber=2}}]]
<
><
>
In the map the second circle with "POI" will be placed over the existing one: <
><
>
[[http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100489&g2_serialNumber=1|{{http://gallery.mikrokopter.de/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=100492&g2_serialNumber=2}}]]
<
><
>
== Align camera ==
With the generator "Circle" the Kopter will be aligned automatically in that way that the camrea points always to the "POI".<
>
The camera points with the camera tilt on the pre-set height of the "POI". For that reason that in this example a tower should be photographed several times the camera can point always straight forward.
<
><
>
(!) '''__HINT__'''<
>
In this example we just have only two heights. To take photos/images of a building or a tower you can place several circles (as described in "Example 2")over each other.<
>
The camera tilt will align automatically to the appropriate height at the certain "POI".<
>
So that the camrera can align itself correctly the camera tilt should be aligned horizontally during a start.
<
><
>
Now the !WayPoints can be transfered to the Kopter and flown by. How this works is explained under [[#Wegpunkteflug|"The WayPoint Flight"]].
<
><
>
= Settings to trigger camera =
In the '''Examples 1+2''' the Kopter stops at each !WayPoint and triggers the camera at each !WayPoint. Here the time was set to trigger the camera under '''WP event'''.<
><
>
<>
Those settings are described here: [[en/WaypointEvent|WP-Event Trigger camera]]<
><
>
If you want to fly the circle without stops per !WayPoint you can set the '''"Delay Time: [s]"''' for the !WayPoints to "0".<
>
This makes it possible for a continuous video flight.<
>
<>
= The WayPoint Flight =
The settings are made and the !WayPoints created.<
><
>
Now the !WayPoints will be transfered to the Kopter. (Link: [[en/MikroKopterTool-OSD#Transfer_WayPoints_to_the_Kopter|See transfered WayPoints]])<
>
The camera mount will be aligned in that way that the camera points straight (horizontal) forward. <
><
>
You can start the Kopter and "park" it in the air. Here you need to activate the function '''"Hold Height"''' and '''"!PositionHold"'''. <
><
>
To self-align the Kopter and the camera (Kopter should point southward) you need to activate the function '''"!CareFree"'''. <
><
>
So that you can start now with the !WayPoint-Flight the GPS-Switch must be set to '''"!ComingHome"'''.<
>
Direct after switching the Kopter starts with the !WayPoint-Flight.<
><
>
Is the !WayPoint-Flight done, the Kopter will stop at the last !WayPoint. Now the Kopter can be flown manually back and also been landed.<
>
Of course you can set the GPS-Switch to "OFF" and after that to again to "!ComingHome". Then the Kopter will fly automatically back to the start-point.
