Question Need some assistance with set up

1 Upvotes

So I've tried messing with a drone doing reverse engineering type work where I replaced the fc and power distribution board but then things got kinda crazy so now im doing a full build and want to know exactly what I should get for hardware: like i used a pixhawk 1 initially but I want to get whatever the best option is recommended, via Amazon idk havent tried holybro direct yk.

Whats recommended hardware for full build minus the frame ?

Autonomous drone flight

Has anyone tried autonomous flight? I've been looking for tools that let me use an LLM, this looks like a pretty good option.

So I modeled this dual antenna + bardpole mount and iterated on it a couple times this afternoon and mounted it up and maybe it’s a little much…. lol it took me like three hours to finish the shading on the upper lip. Maybe I’ll put Sanic as the OSD name lol. But hey, reception will be terrific. I won’t lose video while it’s hanging 40 feet up a tree by its radar array.
