Auto download new mission in QGC

QGroundControl Development
1

I’m looking for a way to automatically download a mission when QGC detects a new mission loaded on my pixhawk. It seems to detect it because when I load a new mission from my companion computer to the pixhawk, I get a warning from QGC saying that my waypoint are below home (which they are)

My goal is to always have the actual mission of the pixhawk visible in the “Fly view” without the need to use Plan View > File > Vehicle, Download

I started to dig into the code but not sure where I need to do my changes

Any helps will be greatly appreciated !!

Yes , it is good feature. also when we play a tlog file.

My guess would be you will also have to add code to the firmware to allow reading the mission back.
If you could read the mission back you would think QCG would support it.

Hi,

I am looking for the same feature, did you have any success in getting the update of the plan view automated?

Hi,

the answer on Slack few weeks ago was negative

So unless there is an update since that no feature like this yet.

I am also very interested in having this feature. I was digging down into the code in order to find a workaround. I hoped that by sending the mission count to QGroundControl directly it would trigger the download automatically, but the message gets lost in the Vehicle.cc and nothing happens.

Is there a way to make the QGC to send REQUEST_LIST to the drone so the download protocol gets triggered?

Alternatively, is there a way to detect an unexpected mission count to trigger the download request?

Hi all,

I am also chasing this feature now. Has anyone solved it or does the feature now exist anywhere?

Kind regards,

Jono

Just wanted to follow up on this as well. Any news on the possibility of this feature?
