The gui should allow for the user to see the aircraft status, aircraft track, path, waypoints, and other relevant flight data listed in Ground Station-GUI .

The GUI Will will also allow the pilot to edit waypoints & command the aircraft to takeoff/land in certain modes. The Aircraft shall operate in GPS_Hold mode when being operated remotely from the groundstation.

Remote Piloting

The command of the aircraft will be done by the pilot with their choice of either a dedicated set of FPV Goggles or Monitor, connected to the VRX either by 5.8 relay or direct by split rca. The controllers used will be TX16s MKII models, and a ppm relay or output converter will be provided on a frequency other than: 900, 1.2, 1.3, 2.4, 5.8. this means we need to buy more dragonlink modules?

In search mode, GS_SW sends to ZP that we have no more waypoints, and then ZP will request from the Jetson where to go. During the flight, the jetson will be continually receiving position packets from ZP, and so it should be able to correlate known landing pad locations to waypoints as we fly over them. At the final waypoint, jetson the Jetson will either direct ZP in a relative direction (eg e.g. 4m forward, 2 m left) if it sees the waypointlanding pad, or it will direct ZP in a spiraling search pattern until it can determine the location of the waypoint.
To ZP, the data that is received is identical. The Jetson will be is responsible of keeping track of what general locations have been swept over using the position data, which will include includes altitude from the barometer.

Landing

Once the Jetson determines a suitable landing location, it will direct the drone to be centered above the landing pad and then drop the altitude to 2m above the landing pad in a controlled descent. At that point, if Jetson sends a message to ZP acknowledging the position is good to land, ZP will use a variety of sensor fusion algorithms & the optical flow sensor to descend vertically over the pad .using a velocity controlled curve?
