Figuring out the specific approach to take on a particular crop or field allows farmers to understand the value of UAV technology for agriculture. For this, let’s look at data collected by drones and see what this data means to farmers and what recommendations they can get out of it. Ligh...
This video describes how to create quadcopter flight software and program a drone from the control architecture developed in the last video. It covers how to process the raw sensor readings and use them with the controllers to calculate motor speed commands. In additio...
flying, and tuning FPV drones. Whether you’re interested in racing, freestyle flying, or simply exploring the sky from a unique perspective, this tutorial will provide you with valuable insights and practical advice to help you get started. From understanding the essential...
Given these, our model allows us to accurately calculate DW (as the standard measure of body size for mobulid rays) using the more accurate CW and DL measurements. We estimate that the smallest mature M. alfredi of each sex we measured were 274.8 cm (males, n = 30) and 323.5 cm DW...
2. Disable theADC filterin your OpenTX/EdgeTX radio (System -> Hardware) to reduce latency. 3.ESC settings: I have a post explaining thebest BLHeli32 settings. Here’s the summary (for 5″ drones): For BLHeli_32 ESC: Rampup Power:30% ...
We developed a dynamic model of the system to calculate the parameters shown in Fig. 2F that minimize the damage upon impact during the perching maneuver, described in Supplementary Method 2 and 4. The dynamic model estimates the motion of the system and the stresses in the joints for a give...
Fun Fact: FPV drones can’t fly in space because there’s no air for the propellers to move. Understanding Propeller Specifications FPV drone propellers are typically defined by three main dimensions: size, pitch, and blade count. These are often written as a set of numbers, such as 5x4x3...
Without a compass, rescue mode should still work as the quads calculate direction through GPS data comparison. At the beginning, your quad might be wandering around or even flying towards the wrong direction but eventually it should self-correct. With weak GPS connection, it can take longer to...
Before buying an ESC, it’s essential to understand how much current your motor and propeller combination will draw. Choose an ESC capable of handling these demands. For typical 5-inch freestyle drones, this usually isn’t a big concern, as most modern 30x30mm 4-in-1 ESCs are rated betw...
To calculate the minimum thrust required for your motor and propeller combination, you’ll need the estimated total weight of your drone. A general rule of thumb is that the maximum thrust produced by all motors should be at least double the total weight of the quadcopter. Insufficient thrust ...
