Goals / Objectives

Knockoff criteria

  1. Setup

Get the script to run (either manually or auto start on bootup)

Script is not running

  1. Place and measure distance from drone power-on location to IR beacons

Know true value of the IR beacon location and home location. Use phone GPS to determine IR beacon locations as a backup.

 

  1. Hover above the IR beacons and fly a few passes at 5, 10, 15m altitude. (we are not doing 20m or above, the accuracy seems too low from previous flight tests)
