Hop

The Hop action is designed to streamline the creation of the Grasshopper workflow. When applied to the appropriate segment, it creates a series of waypoints at which the drone descends, waits (optional) and ascends back to the general flight altitude.

Note: the Hop action is available for the Area scan, Corridor Mapping, LiDAR Corridor and Waypoint segments. The segment's Altitude mode should be set to the "Rangefinder".

The Hop action has the following parameters:

Interval - adds waypoints at the specified distance. If the interval isn't set and additional waypoints are not generated, the action is applied only to the turning waypoints.

Descent altitude - the descent altitude over terrain.

Descent speed - speed at which the drone descends.

Wait time - the pause time at the descent position.

Drop action - adds a drop action at the descent position for the supported payloads.
