Fly around an object at set distance

[jlpearce]

I was wondering if there is a way to get a copter to fly around an object at a set distance say a car or a house?

I am new to this and I can't find anything on this.

Three systems are capable of this that I am aware of. APM 2.6 and up, Pixhawk, and DJI A2. The one I know from experience to be absolutely reliable for this function in Pixhawk. The one I know from experience to be expensively iffy is A2.

WKM as well it's the POI (point of interest) function.

Does the Naza V2 have POI?

I don't think so

Not currently, POI is limited to WKM and A2.

Its a cool feature..

Point Of Interest (POI)
WooKong-M has a new function: Point of Interest. When the GPS signal is good, users can record the present position of the aircraft as a point of interest by the preset switch on the remote control. The aircraft could achieve a circle flight around the point of interest with the nose in the point in an area of 5 meters to 500 meters radius, when the rolling command is given. This function is easy to set up and convenient to operate, it is suitable for all-round shooting of a fixed scenic spot.

I don't think so

But it does have IOC and Home Lock, does it not? It would serve the same purpose if you manually set the home position when hovering over the Point of Intrest. But then again, you'll lose the Return-to-Home feature.

Funny, article talks about the A2 but shows the P2 and radio, I'll have to check my P2 controller.

For the WKM on my S800, I have to toggle the switch on the Tx to activate POI.

The APS-M of the Aligns will have it if they dont already - I know I have my switch selection working for it on the APS-M software, but haven't flown to try it yet.
