We are an Uruguayan company manufacturing drones for security and agro market. As 99% of problems are human error, we decided to fly our drones without human action ! The objective is quite simple : Help use of drones offering the simplest way to fly it.
Thank to DroneCode (and a lot of work...), we have designed a black box with 2 buttons : 1 to arm, 1 to fly mission. We put 1 more for Land if something goes wrong. LEDs help the user to decide to start the mission.
Usually a mission is :
- take-off at 10 meters
- wait for 10 seconds to be sure of GPS fix good quality (if not, Land button pressed)
- waypoints
- last waypoint above landing point with 5 s delay
- landing
Version 2 will be with 3G connection to send us logs after each flight. We will be able to monitor each flight and decide if the machine need maintenance.
