Dev process current
Building and flying drones (what I thought 6 months ago) is NOT the easy part. During the past 6 months I have probably reorganized this wiki a dozen times as I better understand how things work. The last major reorg was on 24.0529 (maybe I got it right this time).
The current dev process ("dev" means your personal development) follows closely the wiki structure
- 1 Learn how to shop for components and tools.
- 1b During the build/fly process, refer to the Reference material (Tech overviews and [Config files].(https://github.com/terrytaylorbonn/auxdrone/wiki/Part-7-Config-files)). These (will) provide a lot of background info. Understand the inner workings of the main drone tech.
- 1c Learn how to fly quadcopter using FPV simulators. Learning to fly a copter is nothing like a fixed wing, and learning to fly will be like learing to ride a bike or drive a car (it will take time).
- 3 Build an FPV drone (INAV or BF).
- 4 Build a Pixhawk drone (PX4) with basic AI capability (maybe object dectection, recognition, tracking).
After finishing the above, then comes the really the really interesting stuff:
- 5 Build mission platforms.
- 6 Explore advanced topics.
