So I'm trying to track initial movement of a flying machine. The flying machine will be stationary initially then rapidly go from 0 - 60 Kts in about 4 seconds. I will grab the initial location using MOBILE GET LOCATION INTO which will be stored in the record of the flying machine. I then plan to use MOBILE START LOCATION WATCH which - with some basic behind the scenes maths should tell me how far it moves from the start location in a certain timeframe.
BUT, the polling has to be automatic and FAST since these guys pay for their airtime by the minute and the club doesn't like losing income.
So - my question is - does MOBILE START LOCATION WATCH poll automatically, and if so what is the granularity. Ideally I'd like every 3-5 seconds, or are we talking about a background process with a set time interval - and can that be as low as 5 seconds?
Any decent documentation/examples on this stuff?

Hi Jaymer, Thanks for the offer. I notice you are in Tampa and I'm in the UK. Give me a Tampa local time that's good for you and I'll work out the time difference and give you a call

Re: MOBILE START LOCATION WATCH
So, today Aim launched its first flying machine. Well almost. I was in my car, set up the "flight", put my phone into "Watch" mode and drove off. 11 Metres later ..... boom.
Thanks to @jaymer for your assistance. Hope the video didn't bore you too much. Just one Question - Maybe support knows the answer. AIM doesn't like me putting MOBILE STOP WATCH LOCATION INTO in a BO rule so I can't easily stop the watching when I don't need it anymore. I need some way of polling the current Aircraft record (from within a process) to issue the STOP action when the status flag goes from Idle to Launched

Re: MOBILE START LOCATION WATCH
Can you place the MOBILE STOP WATCH LOCATION into a process that is called by the BO rule?rocketman wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 2:20 pm AIM doesn't like me putting MOBILE STOP WATCH LOCATION INTO in a BO rule so I can't easily stop the watching when I don't need it anymore.

Re: MOBILE START LOCATION WATCH
Good thought but didn’t work. Going to try a background process next
