Testing III

     This time we wanted to try if our drone can flies properly calculating the mid-point of power lines and automatically follows the right direction. To demonstrate better the process, we used another drone to film the tested drone's route.

The golden one is for testing and the silver one is for filming



Here is the video on Youtube: 



     Because the battery of the drones only last approx. 20 mins so we couldn't finished the testing and the filming. We had a lots of problems before the filming of this video. First of all, we don't know what was happening with the golden drone which often had some trouble with it's camera that is always looking down before the take off and couldn't take off neither. This problem we had recently solved by updating the software. Secondly, as you can see in the video, the wind direction also affects the quality of shooting. Hoping a better outcome we are going to come back another day.
