    OTG cable for a Spark.

    Definitely something to get. I spent a dollar at some disreputable off-shore source. The video delay made going up to look at the ornament on top of the house very hard, but with the OTG cable, I just flew up there. Then I used the Quickshot feature to do an orbit. It came out a little off...

    For years, I've wanted to build an ocean-going sailboat that sails autonomously toward some GPS coordinate and regularly updates some web site with it's progress. Since I know next-to-nothing about boats and lived in Illinois, I never pursued it. I saw a few years ago that somebody had, but in...

    Has anyone ever gotten cut from the blades of your drone?

    I do electronics and have a "Particle Electron" here. It has a $2/month cellular data plan and a pretty powerful processor. Include THAT in a home built drone.

    Need help building a large quadcopter

    Well, that's about 9.3 horsepower. Heat of the motors? No problem, just let the prop wash blow on them. Um. My biggest quad is 300 grams.

    Maybe they should reserve a little battery power and after they crash, should wake up every hour or so and send you a text message with their gps location.

    DJI Spark: Stymied by a QR code...

    Hmm. While flying a bit ago, the go app crashed out. Didn't seem to effect the drone or the remote, but the "return to home"' button on the remote didn't do any thing.

    Ok. We need to shout this from the housetops! To keep new Spark owners from having meltdowns. If you are using Android on your device, DO NOT go to the Play Store and download DJI GO 4. It does not work for setting up your drone. Instead, open this thread on your android and go to...

    So, my wifi is connected to park-RD-adbae2. I start DJI GO 4. I see the pretty picture of the people on the van. Notice that they are barefoot ;) It shows me a picture of a spark, shows an RC Connected and an "Enter Device >" button that takes me to Choose Your Next Step. Activate, Connect or...
