Erle-copter’s flight time is of around 20 minutes with a 5000 mAh battery, and the drone is built to support a payload of up to 2 kg. Please note that the payload will influence the flight time. It is powered by the ROS framework and Snappy Ubuntu Core.
The drone uses either of the 2.4 or 5 GHz frequency bands to create its own Wi-Fi hotspot, allowing the user to connect to it with any device that supports that respective Wi-Fi specifications. Full Story |
