Great stuff man, Im currently working or should say sstart buying hardware for it and I am not too familiar with the electronic, however even if I crash this I'd have some joy on working with that. So in theory I can have one LiPo Battery for the whole setup meaning, servos, ESC and motor, pi controller, however this needs voltage converter for pi and servos right ? I My limit for motor is 5s and they are pretty rare , however if I use one 6s battery for everything voltage would drop down eventually and should work ok, another options is larger propellers. My ESC is 50A and engine is 1100 KV and 911W. initialy I was thinking to only use one battery for ESC and motor and another setup for the rest, but now I think that minding the weight it may be not ideal. Please just be aware that I am completely amatour and still leaarning this by having a goal to do something working 🤣

Is there another video in this series coming?

Are you not controlling the thrust (i.e speed of your motor) using raspberry pi?

nice projected

Hey is part 2 coming?

You have code sbus?

Interesting approach to this problem. There are some downsides to using visuals for such a vital system. Is this just meant as a proof of concept, because for production a simple IMU would probably be faster and less complex on the software side. But nevertheless, great video 👍

Hey tim, how did this drone to maintain level flight without use of altimeter during autopilot?

@timmarkhuff could you please explain how do you stream the video from the camera connected to RPi? Thank you.

Tim, good job!

How would I go about finding a plane that does not come with a receiver or anything?

Cool vid. For the next one, make the arm do a dance

A fascinating example of applying computer vision. Thanks for sharing details and posting the code.

Very informative.❤

Was flying the clubs' C172 one day and the turn coordinator ball was way the hell out the side, very odd.. I did everything in my power to center it, but my head wouldn't let me, so I went instrument only for ten seconds and the ball magically centered. Eyes outside again, and as if by some black magic the damn ball headed off to the side again! What was it? A cloud on the horizon was on an angle.... You will need some checks on your algorithm - I did on mine.

Dogfight Blick😮😮😮

Hello, im from the philippines, i hve a question on the flight computer. Is it good to use raspbery pi or arduino?

Thanks. I want to do this on some level with a Pico/MMBasic and already have a PWM Throttle function similar to a tester. Some sensors should be able to provide "something" to start with and flying in a straight line for some time would be a pass.

Love it would like to see the pi zero 2w or the zero

Extremely cool! Is there any reason not to use normal IMU? Looks bit more challenging and prone to fail in case of poor visibility.

i badly want this kind of stuffs for my project in thesis. especially UAV projects for reconnaisance using raspberry pi. is it possible for me to build it from scratch? even the plane itself?

nice project) ty

This was amazing. I have some experience wit computer vision and drones but needed a little guidance when it comes to hardware. I am trying to work on rasberry pi powered autonomous check point script for my aeroscout.

This is very promising! First time I see computer vision on an RC plane. I wonder how more complex the software can get if you feed the footage to a laptop and perform the computer vision there.

NIce to have flap turns without disengaging autopilot. Very cool project.

How did you perform testing of the code and the airplane in general? Did you use simulation software to model the plane and test the code?

Hi, are you still active in the project? Will there be another part/update? Thank you! :)))

So you are using one voltage converter for the Pi and one for the receiver? How many amps does the Pi actually need? You can easily get 3 amps out of a esc with bec. Size and weight does not seem to be an issue here, but this setup could easily lose over half it's weight with some planning.

really cool - thank you for walking through the code here. awesome work

awesome video thank you -- looking forward to part 2!

Still waiting for software part.😢

May I ask how is the realtime video feed transmitted to you? What is the controller range of such a RC plane and how would you know it is about to go out of range? What happens if it fly out of range? Lost forever? Thanks!

Cool project😊 don’t bother with rudder control

This is awesome

👍I looked at the sources. seems like I might dare. but where do i choose the pins for the servos etc.? Didn't find this in the GitHub sources. thanks.

I am very new to these thing forgive me for the stupid question but i am curious is it possible that it can take off and land on its own.

👍can't wait for the next part. 😊

What's the point...

cool

Excellent!

This is so cool!

you can use ELRS with an sbus(i think it's the protocol on the RX output side) library if you want more range and consistancy, and want to reduce weight. A bit of a tangent to your goal, just in case you need it! You could also get a pwm ELRS receiver, but that's more than 1 wire, but you're using the RX as PDB so might be a better option

Seems it would have difficulty flying in mountainous terrain where the mountains extend above the horizon line. This reminds me of the AP2000i IR autopilot systems we’d use on RC helicopters 15 yrs ago. Those had an array of 4 IR sensors to detect sky from ground… purely analog. They worked for the most part but not so well on cool cloudy days.

Very cool project! I would love to see a future version that uses a down facing cam and a offline map to calculate position :D

2:24 ''to trim the angle of attack''. Well technically it's to trim the attitude of the aircraft.
