Originally, both the planning and output of the control files with
uavRmp was intended for terrain/surfaces with high relief
energy and supported direct upload to the 3DR Solo Drone
and the CSV based interface of the Litchi software for
DJI drones, respectively.
The PixHawk based UAVs can be flown directly from
QGroundcontrol.
Note: If a higher resolved resolution terrain is to
be taken into account for planning, uavRmp
must be used beforehand to perform this terrain
analysis for flight planning. The control file must then be reloaded
into QGroundcontrol as a waypoint file and can thean be
used as a flight control file.
Open the control file via QGroundcontrol or one of its derivates and proceed like usual.

For the DJI consumer drones there is no opensource or
inexpensive planning tool. As a flight control app, the powerful and
very inexpensive Litchi is a good choice. The output of
both Qgroundcontrol and uavRmp planned surveys
is a Litchi CSV control file. After upload/import the
flights are available via the Litchi mission Hub Cloud.
Open Litchi Mission and click on the button ‘’Missions->Import’’ and navigate to the control file firstSurvey_1001.csv. To export it click ‘’Missions->Save’’.
