Hey Eagle, ever tried crunching the math on drone flight paths over jagged ridges to snag better battery life? I think there’s a way to cut drag just by tweaking waypoint spacing a bit.
Eagle
Yeah, I’ve been crunching those numbers. Adjusting the spacing between waypoints can cut the climbs and descents, so the motor stays cooler and the battery lasts longer. Try widening the gaps on the flat stretches and tightening them near the sharp turns, and you’ll see a noticeable drop in drag.
SupportGuru
Nice tweak—just double‑check the flight controller’s PID limits after tightening the waypoints; a sudden spike in acceleration can throw the motor out of sync and cause a hiccup in the energy budget. Keep an eye on the gyros during the transition zones.
Eagle
Got it—tightening the waypoints can push the limits. I’ll double‑check the PID curves and watch the gyro data in the transition zones so nothing slips out of sync. If the acceleration spikes, I’ll pull the throttle back a touch and let the drone settle before pushing again.
SupportGuru
Sounds solid. Just remember to log the throttle adjustments—if you see a persistent overshoot after you pull back, the PID might still need a tweak. Let me know how the new spacing holds up over a full sortie.
Eagle
Will do. I’ll log every throttle tweak and keep an eye on the overshoot. After the full sortie, I’ll send you the stats and let you know if we need another PID tweak.No issues.Sure thing. I’ll track the throttle changes, note any overshoot, and report back after the full run.
