Resume Mission Failures
The process of resuming a mission after a battery swap is a fairly complex process within QGC.
The two main areas that are most problematic are:
- The Resume Mission dialog doesn't display when it should and you are just left with a Start Mission slider.
- The new mission generated from Resume Mission is not quite correct with respect to recreation of waypoints and/or camera commands.
WARNING
In order for the QGroundControl development team to debug these issues the following information must be supplied in any github issue entered against Resume Mission.
Common Steps for Resume Mission Dialog/Generation
The following steps are required for debugging both types of problems:
Restart QGC
Turn on console logging with the log option:
GuidedActionsControllerLog.Enable telemetry logging (Settings > General).
Start the mission.
Fly till you need a battery swap.
TIP
Alternatively you can attempt to reproduce the problem by manually RTL from the middle of the middle of the mission (though this may not always reproduce the problem).
Once the vehicle lands and disarms you should get the Resume Mission dialog.
INFO
If not there is a possible bug in QGC.
