Potensic Atom 3

[zigulicd]

Is it possible to use Potensic Atom 3 drone with ptd2 controler (controler with screen)?

Nice!! I didn't see the Potensic Atom 3 was released.

It would require me to:

1. Buy a Potensic Atom 3
2. Confirm the waypoint missions operate in the same way as the Atom 2
3. Add support for Potensic Atom 3 in DroneTM

If it uses the same format as the Atom 2 - likely - this would be a very quick thing to do!

I wonder, if you have a Potensic Atom 3 on hand currently, if you could help to verify that it functions in the same way? 🙏
Then we could get support for the Atom 3 out a lot quicker!

I never actually tested the RC with a built in screen, so that's a good question!

But I think it should work the same way. Both will use the Potensic Eve app, and have a directory in pretty much the same place on internal storage (the 'built in screen' is basically just a low-spec phone, after all)

The structure is same:

This files are inside:
1786984375375.json
global.json

Amazing, thanks for confirming!!

It looks identical as the Atom 2.

I wonder if simply using the Atom 2 waypoint file will work without issues with the Atom 3.

Worth a test 🙏

I'll just need to get the camera properties to tweak the output slightly (shouldn't make too much difference), then enable support in DroneTM.

If you also manage to capture some photos, a single photo uploaded here to inspect would be super helpful for me to inspect & ensure the processing works smoothly too

[spwoodcock]

ok so after inspecting the file, it's a little different! I'll do a write up and implementation in drone-tm 👍

If you get a chance to capture a photo and upload here, it would be super help for adding full support 🙏 Thank you!

How much does an Atom 3 cost? Seems like a pretty useful thing to look into
