Did your drone lose a signal and got lost in a distance? For amateur drone makers this could be a serious problem. Don’t worry, we have an app for that. FIND MY DRONE is a free app for iOS developed by Communis Tech that connects your iPhone to your personal UAV using the popular MAVLink protocol.
If you were forced to land your UAV some distance away, this convenient App will determine the latitude and longitude of the uavs’ location and its’ distance from you. The inbuilt compass can then direct you there, saving you a haphazard and time consuming search.
In addition, the app has some kind of „Manual Mode“ which allows you to search your drone even when you use an alternative autopilot. You just have to enter the last known coordinates from your uavs‘ telemetry and FIND MY DRONE will calculate the distance and lead you dircetly to that location.
To connect using MAVLink you’ll require a WiFi network link. Communis Tech is now working on alternative way that will use a Bluetooth low energy to long-range radio adaptor…
Features of FIND MY DRONE include:
- MapView with drone location plus device location shown
- Current System Status i.e. RTL (return-to-launch), STABILIZE, LOITER… etc.
- FIND MY DRONE will remember the last received coordinates even if the drone’s power fails
- FIND MY DRONE view includes;
- compass indicating your orientation and direction of the drone from your current position
- current battery voltage information (if you have an active lock)
Stay tuned, FIND MY DRONE will be followed soon by MAVPilot, a ground control station for your pocket.
