Deep Discharge Circuit for DJI 'Intelligent' Batteries

This is my improvised automatic 'Intelligent Battery' deep discharge circuit. This is for the DJI Phantom 2 & Phantom 3 series quadcopters... As we all know, every 20 or so cycles, we are supposed to drain the batteries to less than 8% capacity. This is for the calibration purposes of the Intelligent Battery. When the batteries have been drained low enough - the Intelligent Flight Battery will ...

DJI Phantom 3 Follow Me. Beach 4WDing North Shore of Theodolite Creek, Woodgate, Australia.
Переглядів 2808 років тому
My first real life test of the new DJI Phantom 3 'Follow Me' mode. I was sitting on the back tray of the leading VW Amarok Utility controlling the Drone, with my mates being general hooligans in the trailing 4WD's. 'Follow Me' worked exceptionally well, and nearly almost all of the hard work framing the shot was done for me! Very impressed.

    I know this is an older video, but how do you send the joystick controls to the multirotor? Is the rc controller hooked up to the computer or are you sending the signals over 433/900mhz radio?

    • @timdavies9494
      @timdavies9494 6 років тому

      Hi Jon Neubs ! So the Joystick was connected via USB to my laptop which was running my groundstation software, ‘Mission Planner’. The signal was then sent out over the 433/900 MHz data radio link.

    • @timdavies9494

      Gwyne Gomez - correct, it is true that the transmitter is not actually needed to fly & control the drone in this setup. However I always had it nearby just as a backup.

    Well this is using Mission Planner ground control software, its fairly basic really. Just plug in the USB, calibrate all axis, and setup which buttons on the joystick control which functions of the drone... I am using a Pixhawk Autopilot from 3DR here.

    • @grhosso

      Hey, nice4 work. Long time but I am interested on it. I have some questions about Mission Planner. You calibrate joystick in Mission Planer, ok, and then you have connected the TX via USB to the PC, and the RX to Flight Controler. My Question is, do you know the RFD900, I think this device works on the same way right? I should connect the RFD900 via _USB to the PC, connect the Joystick via USB to the PC, setup everything in Mission Planner, and that is all?
