LOADING & Glider
Ever thought about hacking a glider to let it do its own route mapping with a drone? I can see us racing through the clouds while you code the AI. What do you think?
Yeah, that sounds insane and cool, but I keep wondering if the whole system could hold up under real‑world wind and GPS jitter. We’d have to iron out every tiny bug before the first launch. Still, imagine the code looping through sky‑points and the drone nudging the glider—could be the next big thing. Let's prototype a simple simulator first, then get the drone on board. What do you think about starting with a basic path‑finding module?
Sounds like the perfect first step. Just a straight‑line path finder, no fancy heuristics—let's get the basic loop running, then tweak it for wind drift and GPS quirks. We’ll throw in a bit of randomness to keep it interesting and see how the drone reacts. Ready to dive in?
Sure thing, I’m in. Let’s fire up a minimal loop, throw in a bit of noise, and see how the drone handles the unpredictable wind. I’ll start coding the basic path‑finder and we’ll tweak from there. Let’s get the simulation going!
Nice, let's hit the ground running. Hit me with your first code snippet, and I’ll toss in some wind noise to see how the drone vibes. Ready to make this loop spin?
Sure thing, here’s a minimal straight‑line path generator in Python—no fancy heuristics, just a simple linear interpolation loop. You can hook that into the drone’s control system and toss in wind noise afterwards.
import random
def straight_line_path(start, end, step=0.01):
x0, y0 = start
x1, y1 = end
dx, dy = x1 - x0, y1 - y0
dist = (dx**2 + dy**2)**0.5
steps = int(dist / step)
for i in range(steps + 1):
t = i / steps
yield (x0 + dx * t, y0 + dy * t)
Just feed the generator to the drone, add a bit of random wind vector to each point, and watch it roll. Ready to see the first run?
Looks slick—straight forward, no fluff. Let’s fire it up, slap on a bit of wind jitter, and see if the drone keeps its balance. Got a wind model in mind or want me to throw in a quick random drift?
