transect region waypoints when the Generate Waypoints button is pressed, as shown in
Figure 102.
7.14.1 Ignition with Transects
Figure 103: When the usage is set to Ignition, the generated waypoints will be automatically
activated for dropping along the transects.
If you are igniting parallel backfire lines at a prescribed fire with Ignis, then the transect
lines feature may be useful for you. Set the Zig Zag heading to point into the wind, and
set the transect spacing to match the prescription. Set the usage to Ignition, which will
generate waypoints with the transects already activated for dropping with Ignis, as shown in
Figure 103. While flying this mission, you may need to stop and start the waypoint mission
in between transect lines, or regulate the drone’s speed with the pitch stick to prevent the
drone from getting ahead of the perimeter burn crew. Let us know if this feature is useful,
or if it could be improved.
7.14.2 Mapping with Transects
The transects feature can also be used to plan missions in which you’ll take photos of an
area with a downward-facing camera. However, we do not yet support taking photos with
a DJI camera, so right now it’s only useful if you have a separate camera mounted on the
drone. Set the usage to mapping to see additional controls in the transect settings that will
help with this task, as shown in Figure 104.
