- Currently the Autel Evo II Pro (RTK) UAS does not support terrain following for mapping missions.
- You can import a KML file generated by external 3rd party software like QgroundControl.
- In this KML file, the height is dispayed in AMSL instead of AGL
The script reads the KML file and replaces the AMSL with AGL so it allows the UAS to do terrain following mapping missions
- not tested
- after importing the kml to Autel Explorer v2, the app adds 3 additional waypoints to the end of the mission with "0" height. Please remove these last 3 waypoints
- use it on your own risk
- thanks ChatGPT for the script!
- install python
- create a mission in QgroundControl
- export the kml file
- start the script with "python jubilant-terrainfollow.py yourkmlfile.kml"
- a new kml file will be created in the same directory, called "yourkmlfile_new.kml" and it can be imported to Autel Explorer
