Description

I have developed an autonomous lawnmower. Flight paths using the various options in the Flight Plan tab of Mission Planner miss some grass.

I think It would be nice to have an option to conduct a flight path using a i-robot type of pattern. This would drive the robot on a random(1,360) heading for a random amount of time= random(time minimum, time maximum).

When the lawnmower comes to the geofence its heading would change to the compliment of present heading.

Should you think this is a worthwhile addition to feature rich Mission Planner I would be happy to pay for your efforts.

Thank you in advance.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the Mission Planner Flight Plan tab and its existing path options, then determine how geofences are handled; done means a random-heading, random-duration pattern is available and changes heading at the geofence as described.
