vMC (Vehicle Mission Control) 

New Features & Improvements:

  • The map in vMC now shows city, street and landmark names.

  • Operators can now explicitly set an acre limit to missions. When planning point-to-point missions after all coverage plan passes are complete, setting an arbitrary acre amount is no longer required.

  • vMC users can now interact with the map while keeping the vehicle's activity feed open.
  • Confirmation will no longer be required before saving a mission within mission planner.
  • Images can now be requested from cameras when the E-Stop is engaged.
  • Operators can now see activity events when radar and computer vision obstacle detection systems are enabled and disabled.
  • The steering calibration curve can now be viewed from within the tractor’s settings.
  • Product announcements have been separated into its own tab within the notification inbox, called “What’s new”.

Resolved Issues:
  • In order to prevent missions from getting stuck in an assigned state, operators will no longer be able to assign missions when the vPFM is offline.
  • The “start engine” button will be disabled when throttle or steering toggle is set to manual.
  • When the mission planner cannot identify a transit, an error toast will indicate this as the reason for the mission not being able to be generated, as opposed to generically saying there’s been a technical error.
  • When planning a mission with a dropped end point that has an explicit heading, the correct heading will be used to generate the mission.
  • Resolved visual artifacts causing passes to disappear from the map at certain zoom levels.
  • The ability to change pass status of a coverage plan using the polygon tool has been fixed.
  • Calibration buttons will now show feedback after being pressed.
  • Resolved an issue preventing disabling the default end point toggle for a point of interest.
  • Implement controls will be hidden from the basic tab when the vehicle’s engine is off.

Coverage Planner

New Features & Improvements

When setting up fields to construct coverage plans with circular passes, it is no longer necessary for the circular pivot non-traversable hole to intersect the field boundary.

Resolved Issues
  • When using center pivot non-traversable holes that are set to ‘max headlands’, which overlap other non-traversable holes, the two non-traversable holes will no longer be merged so that circular passes remain concentric with the center pivot geometry.

  • Issues with the generated transit routes when using ‘along the boundary’ and ‘within headlands’ traversals on coverage plans that have one or more non-traversable holes with ‘max headlands’ have been resolved.


Mission Planner


Resolved Issues
    • When planning field-to-field transit missions across overlapping fields, the geofences of non-active overlapping fields will not be merged into the mission.
