"on the fly" updates

Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place for this post, but i have a question releating to comunications to a UAV while it is in the air. I assume via a ground station is the best way of doing this.

What i would like to do is to send my UAV off on its set GPS waypoint route, but change the waypoints at a later time. ie for the UAV to enters a holding patern untill i tell it that it can land.

Does anyone know if its possible with the current hardware/software that is recommended on this site.

I thought there was no bidirectional communication to Ardupilot at this stage?
The Rx of the serial port is hooked up to the GPS..

Hi Guys,

Thanks for that, at the moment I'm flexible with what platform I use for the project, would you be able to recommend an approach that would allow me to do this?

Thanks
Jake
