Milestone Reached: Basic Flight Code Finalized

We’ve officially wrapped up development of the basic drone flight controls — and we’re thrilled to share that the project is entering a new phase. On April 18th, our team concluded implementation of takeoff, hover, movement, and landing routines.

Next Step: Waypoint Mission Development

With the foundational logic in place, we’re now shifting our attention to autonomous waypoint-based missions. This functionality will allow the drone to execute pre-planned paths without manual assistance, unlocking real inspection capabilities at scale.

Using the DJI Mobile SDK’s mission APIs, we’ll define precise sequences of coordinates, altitudes, and actions — giving our system full control over where and how the drone flies.

What’s Coming

Over the next few weeks, we’ll begin implementing and testing waypoint logic, focusing first on simple missions before scaling up to complex inspection scenarios.

This marks a crucial step toward true drone automation. We’re excited to see our work evolve from manual control to fully autonomous operations.

More soon as our drone starts thinking for itself!
