"Thanks for the suggestions!  I'd like to know more about that approach actually.  How would I go about using the RSSI information to be fed back to the tracker?  The RSSI measurement doesn't include directionality, but is just a measured number…"

"I know this is an older topic, but I just had the same issue with my Iris+.  I turned it on and had no telemetry on the hand controller.

DroneRanger commented on DroneRanger's blog post NDVI Capture & Processing - How Did You Do That?!
"This was a little over 114 acres. I was flying at the regular waypoint speed for the Iris+. I was thinking of bumping that parameter up a bit though. I ended up with probably more images than I really needed, but I figured it was better to have more…"

DroneRanger commented on DroneRanger's blog post NDVI Capture & Processing - How Did You Do That?!
"It's pretty early to tell since the crops are still sprouting but there are some areas that look to be doing "better" than others if the grower was looking to minimize the need for nitrogen application early on, but I think the real value will be in…"

I finally put some time and effort into an integration between Dronekit Python and the Systems Tool Kit (STK) software this past weekend.  My goal was to be able to plan a flight inside of STK, connect to my drone(s), and basically just press play…

"We have plans to expand to read many other formats, but are taking them one at a time at this point.  This is all great feedback and we will work to build up the number of supported file types in the near future.  "

DroneRanger commented on DroneRanger's blog post Drone Post Flight - from your web browser!
"Sorry, i should confirm that we have support for the ArduCopter .log files.  So, the process would be to use the .log files which come from Mission Planner (i.e. not binary log files, but the text files that Mission Planner creates).  

There is a…"
