i was curious if there was a way to run this app on a raspberry pi, that would be amazing if i could and low enough power i could get away with a backpack rig maybe..and also maybe with enough tinkering use ethernet port and a wireless AP with much higher output as well.. but i dont know..
what would be amazing is if DJi worked with us on this better... i know battery is only going to be good for ~5 miles one way sport mode with perfect signal, but what im finding more then not is half a mile can be seriously spotty in range if a lot of trees, 1 mile can be seriously problematic as well.... the guy i was helping teach how to fly today and showing off the capabilities, he said as search and rescue, the spark is actually surprisingly ideal size and weight, being able to launch it off palm or edge of a rock like we did in the rain and cover 1-2 miles reliably and run a search pattern is all they want and need. 15 minutes of run time is also not that bad, but only if you dont have to worry about running it home and only running search patterns and landing it somewhere safe.. more times than not both me exploring and him running search crew, its all about useable time and solid coverage at 1-2 mile mark... not 5 miles, not anything too crazy..
