RED5 Motion Controlled Drone

Product Information

The latest version of this intuitive drone lets you go directly to experienced drone pilot… without the awkward learning curve. degree flips:To do this, all you have to do is simply push the trigger on the side and the drone does the rest for you. For more details about the Motion Controller, read our DJI FPV Combo hands-on review or buy it here. A new way to fly: Gone is the complicated remote and in comes a computer mouse styled gadget that works with the motion of your hand. Move your hand left and the drone flies to the left. Tilt your hand forwards and the drone flies forward. In no time at all you’ll have on-lookers thinking you’ve been flying for years, or inherited some serious Jedi skills! In the video below, [Paweł] takes the motion controller for a test flight and comes away largely satisfied with the results. Some tweaks are in the works as you might expect for a first attempt, but nothing that would prevent you from building your own version today and experiencing what might be the next evolution of RC flying.

When the drone is returning to the Home Point, please pay attention to any real-time changes of the Home Point location. The Motion Control Drone is so incredibly easy to use, that we actually struggled to crash it! So if you are all about the newest technology, then this innovative flyer is a perfect gift from you to you. Or to someone else if you’re feeling especially kind.Make sure the batteries for the aircraft, goggles, and Motion Controller are all sufficiently charged for flight. Basically, the Motion Control UFO is a drone (or quadcopter, if you’re cool) that is shaped like a flying saucer. Reports indicate (correctly) that it also has flashing LED lights, bringing some extra-terrestrial awesomeness to your night flying.

Press the Accelerator and the drone will fly towards the circle. Tilt the device while pressing, and the drone will make a turn. TIP: If there is an emergency while returning to the Home Point, press the Brake button once to cancel RTH. Use the Brake button to activate the emergency brake and hover feature or to make the aircraft return to the Home Point. A new way to fly: Don’t worry about a complicated remote. This computer mouse styled controller works with the motion of your hand. Move your hand left and the drone flies to the left. Tilt your hand forwards and the drone flies forward. In no time at all you’ll have on-lookers thinking you’ve been flying for years… or inherited some serious Jedi skills!

I had a team of people working to build this exact thing a couple years ago. We found that the MPU-6050 was insufficient, ignoring the fact that it is discontinued tech. I ultimately settled on the ICM-20948 instead using this driver for the STM32:

Warranty repairs and replacements at no extra cost including access to repairs infrastructure in the UK from a DJI Approved Repair Centre.To ascend or descend vertically, control the circle on the screen to move up or down until it changes colour. Once the circle colour has changed, press the Accelerator and the drone will fly up or down vertically. Press and hold the power button of the aircraft until the battery level indicators blink in sequence. Take off:To make the drone take off, all you need to do is press the button on the side of the remote gadget!

The highest video transmission bitrate is 50 Mbps. Measured in an open, outdoor environment with no obstacles or interference.Blades not spinning? You might not believe this, but one of the most common reasons for a rotor not spinning is trapped hair! If you have a family pet (or just a particularly hairy family member!) you might find that over time hair can become trapped around the motor, which prevents it from spinning. Most blades pop off very easily so it's a super easy problem to fix. Some drones come with little u-wrenches to help pop them off. Altitude hold: The Motion Drone has a nifty feature where it automatically holds its height for you. That means you can focus on flying it where you want it to go without the worry of going too high and out of range, or too low and hitting the floor! TIP: Before updating the firmware, make sure the battery level for both the aircraft and remote controller is above 50%, and a stable internet connection is available.
