Enabling the figure of eight mode

PX4 Autopilot
1

Hey,

I have seen that the developers team have written codes for tracking figure of eight. I wanted to include this feature in my flight stack. I wanted to understand how do I enable this, if not enable, what are the considerations that I have to take into while writing the algo on my own.

Thanks

Anybody from dev team?

So I am still on it, and if anybody here knows it please help!
Thanks

Have you checked the source code? And the pull requests adding support for it: Pull requests · PX4/PX4-Autopilot · GitHub

Yeah I actually did check the code and the pull requests as well.
The VEHICLE_CMD_DO_FIGUREEIGHT mavlink command is not there to command from QGC so I am not sure how do I trigger.
I somehow changed the if conditions and got the functions to run but apparently she starts sinking and aligns at 189 degree heading

also they have closed this issue on qgc because there is no MAV_CMD_DO_FIGURE_EIGHT command. So the only way to get it right is by using Auterion AMC?

Nowhere defined in common.xml (only in development.xml)

Presumably, yes. Worth asking Auterion.
