This project serves as the evolution of the Baseplate project. Now this project features a heavily modified TBS Source 1 V5 outfitted to hold a downward facing 90-degree FOV camera, a Raspberry Pi5 companion computer, and a Pololu voltage regulator.
Why this configuration? My next objective is to implement an Apriltag based fully autonomous landing sequence on the drone allowing me to explore the worlds of GPS waypoint mapping and visual fiduciaries used to provide flight telemetry. Currently the CAD is complete, and the additional hardware is on its way. While I wait for supplies, I have begun investigating Apriltag performance and implementation.
