The field (outdoors) flight test 24.0619 was

  • No laptop
  • No monitor (for Nano)
  • No a/c power

This requires the following:

  • Auto startup for Jnano (this took several days to find a hack that worked)
  • Battery power for Nano

ALso need

  • Physical mount of camera, Jnano, etc
  • Use RC

Flight test 1: Just simple takeoff, loiter, then step in front of camera (should auto-land) Flight test 2: Run a mission and step in front of camera (should auto-land)

  • TERRY 24.1224 UPDATE: I did test this successfully in a local park. Lots of little complicatiosn to get it running, but it worked (its a lot complex than the typical bystander can appreciate).
