  • In this video, we're taking a deep dive into how to scale down our drone engineering knowledge into building a micro drone with the Pi Zero.
    This Pi Zero drone isn't some low level drone. It also runs ArduPilot, which is made of over 1 million LOC. This unlocks advanced features like autonomous missions, python scripting, and a ton more.
    If you want to build along with this video, we have pi zero drone kits. You can check this link to see if we have any available.

    Amazing video!!!! Thank you… It would be very cool if you put an ultrasonic on the bottom to altitude control. Maybe not only on the bottom… everywhere haha It also will be very cool to see how far can it go with a 20 min battery (and back) autonomously. The application for this is endless! Btw, I love the fact that your videos are not short and you explain everything letting nothing behind 🙏🏻 last question, can you put ROS on it?

    • @thedronedojo
      @thedronedojo  Рік тому +5

      Glad you liked the video!
      I like that idea, with that or maybe LIDAR the altitude should be more locked.
      Yeah there is a package called MAVROS that communicates MAVLink packets to the drone via UART, just like Dronekit does. Though I don't have as much experience with that.

    I don't understand something here and I feel like it's a small thing that I am missing. It's the R Pi that enables you to use ArduPilot and therefore hover? Because without the R Pi, as far as I know, this would just fly like any other FPV drone where it needs constant input from the pilot.

      This battery was a 3000 mAh, 3S LIPO that weighed about 250g. I believe one of my 2200 mAh that weighs 130g would actually fly the drone for longer.

    One of the best spoken channels on the topic. Bro you show that you care for the hobby and aren’t another sell out asshole sales agent who only wants people to buy shit regardless if they need it. People like that arrogant JBardwell or that dick from drone camps (wants none asking him for help), etc you know who they are. They all suck and in reality are only in this for their own gain. Been following you for a long time because you step out and build shit up and fuck it up but like me aren’t afraid of failing. Keep up the great work you do man.
