Dronekit news

hi all,

just read in another thread that dronekit is no longer active.

what does that mean?

I went to dronekit’s website and didnt see any news.

Are you having any issues with DK? If so, it would be good to know.

@ricardo_v28, I dont think it means anything for the courses… I have completed the precision landing course, well the simulation portion, which invokes DK, with no problem. I am currently trying to complete the precision landing in th real-world, but I am having hardware related issues, so I’ve been trying to debug.

I have ran the take0ff_and_land function in the real-world and it worked beautifully. I am running into issues moving laterally in the drones frame, but I think it is because I have not ran autotune, which leads back to my hardware issue.

ooooooooooo niceeee!!! She’s a beut @jax200! Idk how I missed this post. I’m so glad you posted this… I think everyone should share and post their achivements because its motivation for the rest of us!

I notice that you had two gps modules as well. I was considering that as well. Are they both the same type?

I will definitely take a video and share when I get there too.

at the moment, I have tried to fly my drone manually and still a little wabbly, so will get that better and then do the aruco thing.

Actually, I do need to buy a range finder because it doesnt come with the kit, is this the one?:
