Dev process current - terrytaylorbonn/auxdrone GitHub Wiki

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.

Epic 1: Build/fly FPV drone

• 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).

Epic 2: Build/fly Pixhawk drone with AI

• 4 Build a Pixhawk drone (PX4) with basic AI capability (maybe object dectection, recognition, tracking).

Epic 3: Missions

After finishing the above, then comes the really the really interesting stuff:

• 5 Build mission platforms.
• 6 Explore advanced topics.
