path. The last waypoint is always blue, indicating that Ignis will automatically stop dropping
at the end of the waypoints. You cannot activate/deactivate a part of a waypoint path after
that part has been uploaded and turned solid.
The waypoint settings menu in Figure 7.15g will display helpful information about the
planned mission, such as the estimated number of ignition spheres required for the
mission, and the average spacing between each ignition sphere. Adjust the cruise speed
and drop spacing to achieve the desired distance between ignitions.
Figure 7.15.1c: Dropping ignition spheres along a burn line.
Figure 7.15.1c shows the Ignis automatically dropping ignition spheres as the drone
flies along these waypoints. Whenever the drone travels from a blue section of a waypoint
mission to a yellow section, it will start dropping with Ignis, and whenever it travels from a
yellow section to a blue section, or reaches the end of the waypoint mission, it will stop
dropping. As a warning for users of Ignis 1, Ignis 1 can take several seconds to finish
stopping, and during this period it ignores new start commands. As a consequence of this,
if you have a short unactivated segment between two activated segments, Ignis may not start
dropping on the second activated sequence because it was still in the stopping process. If
Ignis doesn’t start dropping automatically, you can always manually send the start command
through the Ignis menu. Ignis will automatically stop at the end of the activated sequence.
