First sign of trouble |
So I figured out how to adjust the altitude limiter and I had the drone flying up to 10m! I've heard stories of people's drones getting stuck and drifting around so I have some RC helicopters on standby to fly into the drone and take it down. Thank goodness I didn't have to use any of them! That being said I did have one incident. I drained the batteries too much and the warning didn't kick in until the drone was 3 meters in the air. Unfortunately the drone lost power to one of the rotors causing the drone to cartwheel out of the sky. Note to self, add in a low power warning. Also during this flight I generated detailed logs of the entire flight so I can see what information I want to display. Next test: BIP (start with T/O and Landed lights).
Tests:
- Velocity display partial-pass
- Z-axis still not displaying anything
- Altitude limiter pass
Next objectives:
- Update TUI to display more information
- Create a BIP (Back-lit information panel) displaying drone status
- Add in emergency stop button
- Update altimeter
- Stop using console.log for t/o and lnd
- Aerobatics.....
