that's interesting but counter intuitive. i expected the controller to stop the drone, by getting stop signal from the app. hence the name- controller. but you say the drone is flying the corral autonomously, while the app only relays the feedback to pilot.
but as of now, are there nfz loaded in my drone already? does she know where in the world she is and to stop if i fly it towards the airport? i would say no, and i was wrong before.
it means that the onboard computer has enough ram to store fencing data for a 3-mile radius. how many gps fencing points can she hold? four should be enough, but again, how many times was i wrong today?
Yes, the NFZ data is loaded into the drone already. She does not need to know where in the world she is, because the NFZ data only needs to specify the geographic coordinates of the centre of the circle plus a figure for radius, not much data at all. Given the amount of memory available in the aircraft, it could easily hold many thousands, especially if the GPS data is compressed.
It has to be in the aircraft, because there is no storage in the RC controller to speak of and you can fly the aircraft without a phone or tablet connected anyway. |
