Flight Control

Flight control system is the core component of the drone system. Its performance affects the flight performance and flight quality of the drone, and is directly related to the flight safety of the drone. Therefore, the understanding of the flight control system is the basis for the implementation of operations.

Power Supply System Instruction

V2 type flight control power module supply power range：6S—12S；
RTK Power supply range of base station：6S—12S；
RTK Power supplied by the board card：3S—12S；
Power supply range of water pump module：Input DC 24V，Output DC 12V；

Protection Scheme
Return Course： Returning course is one of the important protective means of safe flight. The course of returning course is as follows: after the plane climps 2 meters at the current position (the default can be modified), it flies to the safe point and hovers for operation；

Remote Control out of control protection：
From the perspective of safety, the current remote control is still irreplaceable for plant protection drone. In order to ensure the safety of drone flight, and for the actual demand of large area self-spraying, the more complete remote control safety protection strategy is designed. The protection of out of control of the remote control can be set on the ground station software,the setting is designed only for “full autonomous mode, manual mode (high/fixed mode) and ab mode are default open and cannot be closed ；

Data link fault protection：
In order to improve the ease of use, we set the ground station as a non- synchronous necessary device, which means that during the actual flight of the drone, the state of the drone can be observed through the ground station, or the data link can be disconnected, and the working condition can be determined by the state of the drone and the indicator light.In order to prevent the data transmission link instability from adversely affecting the actual operation, the data link fault protection is set to be effective only in the full autonomous mode and the remote control signal is lost；

Low Voltage Protection：|
We provide voltage protection based on the modifiable voltage value, that is, the user can correct the voltage value measured by the flight control via the ground station (if there is a difference between the actual value and the measured value, the measurement value can be corrected by this function), the flight control detects the single-chip voltage and implements the protection；

Area Limit Protection：
In some specific cases, it is necessary to limit the flight range of the drone.our system provides flight restrictions of two-dimensional and three- dimensional space, namely height and distance limits, to ensure the safety of the drone flight.

Flight Test

Electrical Calibration
The purpose of electrical calibration is to make the output PWM value of the flight control match the PWM value range that can be received by the electrical adjustment.Conventional electric calibration methods are as follows:
turn on remote control, make the accelerator to the highest position;
turn on flight control, flying light is red and blue flashing, means flight control get into the electrical calibration model,turn off flight control,keep remote control accelerator always on the highest position;
turn on flight control again ,connect electricity to power system, when hear an electrically controlled “di – di” sound, rapid pulled the throttle to the lowest, at this time will hear a long sound “di”, At this point push the throttle again, motor will be in rotation, electrical calibration will be in end .

During electrical calibration , it must be in the state of no paddle. The prompt sound of different manufacturers’ electric adjustment may be different. Please refer to the manual of electric adjustment.

Accelerometer Calibration
When our flight control leaves the factory, the acceleration has been calibrated. In general, there is no need to calibrate it again, but in some specific cases, the acceleration needs to be adjusted to ensure the stability and flight safety, the calibration method is as follows:

• enter into “equipment calibration – collectively” page, click on the “calibration” button;
  • according to clew, put drone/flight control on horizontal level;
  • click button, according to clew,put drone/flight control on the left side; click button, according to clew,put drone/flight control on the right side;
• Our Flight Control System User’s Manual
  • click button, according to clew, put drone/flight control head down;
  • click button, according to clew, put drone/flight control head up;
  • click button, according to clew, turn over drone/flight control;
  • When it tells calibration is success, means calibration is end,we can restart flight control.

Horizontal Correction
The horizontal correction function mainly solves the installation error, when the flight control is installed on the rack, and repairs the horizontal error caused by human installation.Place the Orbiter in horizontal.
In the “Equipment Calibration — Level” page, click “Horizontal Correction” to complete the correction.

Voltage Correction
Read the real value of the battery through the voltage measurement tool, and write the actual value directly, click “confirm”.

Magnetic Compass Calibration
Magnetic compass calibration makes aircraft heading more accurate. When flying in different environments and regions, magnetic compass needs to be recalibrated to ensure flight control adapt local magnetic environment, our flight control magnetic compass calibrate method is as follows:
fast slide “channel mode” switches above 6 times, when the status of indicator light flashing in red, blue, means have been into the level of magnetic compass calibration mode;
turn the drone on horizontal and gently rotate 360 °, when green light keeps turned on, means horizontal calibration is completed;
Put drone head straight down, waiting to twinkle red light and green light cycle, said it enters into vertical magnetic compass calibration mode;
Again put drone gently rotate 360 °, when indicator light stops flashing, blue lights stay turn on, vertical calibration is completed.

Unlock and Lock
Unlockable mode: Altitude hold /GNSS assist/position hold mode
Lockable mode: Altitude hold /GNSS assist/position hold mode
Unlock method： Maximum pitching, minimum throttle volume, heading right full lever, roll left full lever, indicator light turns flashing to normal, that means it has been unlocked；
Unlock request： When altitude hold mode are self-inspected ,means it has been unlocked ;
GNSS assist/position keep mode, the satellite is positioning, light will be on green and single flash;

Lock method：
Maximum pitching, minimum throttle volume, heading left full lever, roll right full lever, lock immediately, the indicator light will starts flashing, means lock is successful;
