Flight controllers
A flight controller is the central command center for a drone. It is a sophisticated system that manages the drone's movement and controls various aspects of flight, including stability, balance, responsiveness, and maneuverability.
The flight controller for FPV (First Person View) is the heart of the drone, responsible for controlling and stabilizing its flight. This device processes information from sensors such as gyroscopes, accelerometers and GPS and adjusts the engines accordingly, ensuring a stable and precise flight.
The main functions of the flight controller:
- Stabilization – the flight controller ensures stability of the drone, especially during sharp maneuvers or wind.
- Autopilot – Many controllers support automatic flight functions such as return home, route flight, auto takeoff and autoland.
- FPV Camera Integration – The controller works in tandem with the FPV camera, transmitting real-time video to the pilot's remote control or goggles.
- Telemetry - transmits important flight data such as battery level, altitude, speed, position in space.
Depending on the complexity and purpose, flight controllers can have different functionality, from basic for beginners to professional models with an advanced set of sensors and settings.
