Proper way to control velocity and position simultaneously in OFFBOARD

Hello!

What is the proper way to set maximum copter velocity when using position control with SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED?

I mean, I want to fly to a specified position, but I also want to control the velocity at the same time.

This was a question i asked last year also. only way is to set the max. speed in params. or you generate an interpolation with positions to your endposition.

Hi!

Which param has to be used?

you should search the MPC_XY_VEL_MAX param

I found the MAVLink message PARAM_SET will allow you to programmically set the MPC_XY_VEL_MAX parameter. I’ve tested this in Gazebo and is working.

Yes, thanks I’ve also used this message (through MAVROS).

And what about MPC_XY_CRUISE parameter? What does it stand for?

Could you please give a guidance how to use MPC_XY_CRUISE in ROS node?!
