Android-PanoramaDemo | Waypoint feature of Intelligent Navigation

If you're using a Phantom 3 Professional and not an Inspire 1, don't worry, we haven't forgotten about you! There are a couple minor tweaks to take care of, and one major adjustment we will have to make to our photo taking algorithm. With the Inspire 1, we just rotated the gimbal 360 degrees, taking 8 photos along the way. However, the Phantom 3 Professional's gimbal does not have the ability to rotate 360 degrees. This is as in some of the angles its legs would be visible, while the Inspire 1's legs lift up out of the field of view. Consequently, instead of rotating the gimbal to take photos, we're going to have to rotate the entire drone. With the DJI SDK, there are two different ways we can perform this simple task. The first uses Flight Control (previously called Joystick), which allows you to manipulate the drone through its basic properties of yaw, roll, pitch and throttle. The second uses waypoints, which are physical destinations at which the drone will carry out a series of tasks - in this case, the tasks to carry out will be to rotate and to capture photos. The advantage of waypoints is that we will not have to call sleep() in between commands, as waypoints are designed to take care of giving the drone time to execute commands. Both of the Flight Control and waypoints are components of Intelligent Navigation (previously called Groundstation).
