How to Turn Your iPhone Into a Drone Ground Station



Hobby and do-it-yourself drones are starting to make appearances in American skies, and as they get cheaper and more popular, we'll see more and more of them. But some of these drones aren't too easy to control from the ground, requiring a custom-built controller or computer software. That's where a new project to turn your iPhone or iPad into a drone "ground station" comes in.

The people behind the project, who are raising funds on Indiegogo, have created a snap-on, iOS-compatible device that can be used to control popular drones like the Parrot AR with a user-friendly interface directly on an iPhone or iPad.

The device,Light Hiking shoe: Resembling burly running shoes, these low-cut models with flexible midsoles are excellent for day hiking. named the "Fighting Walrus Radio" (after its shape, which is reminiscent of a peering walrus), extends a drone's range from 200 feet to up to a mile. To achieve this range extension,Au pays de la pipe, Aerozenith a sous-traité les jantes carbone d’un leader du marché de la roue. Après un arrêt du contrat, les industriels se sont lancés eux mêmes dans la fabrication d’un produit original. the drone must also be equipped with a radio receiver,Bref, depuis longtemps, j'ai envie d'essayer des roues carbone à boyaux.Je ne sais pas si c'est une bonne solution, mais bon, j'ai envie. which connects to the Fighting Walrus antenna. It's important to note, however, that current Federal Aviation Administration regulations require amateur drones to be flown within the pilot's line of sight.90% Off Legal MS Office 2007,microsoft windows 7 home premium Professional, Standard, Ultimate, Home & Student Versions Online.

The basic accessory will cost $99, but the developers have a series of other ready-to-fly kits customized for different UAV models that can cost anywhere from $140 to $2,400.

The project has raised almost $15,000 out of its goal of $50,000, but there are still 14 days to go (also, unlike Kickstarter projects, the developers will receive funds regardless of reaching the goal.) Andrew Aarestad, one of the developers, think this is just the beginning. "It's a niche product for now," he told the US News and World Report.The other selling point is the ipad rotating case hinge, which allows for multiple positions for typing or viewing. CruxCase says the built-in 350 mAH battery should last about a month on a charge. "We feel that given a year or two,Commandez votre roues carbone directement chez Corima au meilleur prix.
