More options needed for offboard

1

offboard is a great feature to use in indoor vicon but there are some limits to use at outdoor world

  1. only can be sustained by setpoint_position/local
    I think setpoint_raw/global should work either

  2. limited coordinate frames
    even in setpoint_position/local only MAV_FRAME_LOCAL_NED and MAV_FRAME_BODY_NED are supported
    seems at least MAV_FRAME_BODY_OFFSET_NED should be supported

there are mission mode for out doors but can’t control copter in real time
I think goto feature in APM is pretty nice

is there are any plans for offboard to be upgraded?

Yes, there are changes being discussed. There are multiple issues on github (https://github.com/PX4/Firmware/issues/8278) and discussion in #architecture on px4 slack.
