Those things are awesome! I was looking at those but they're too heavy. Mine, after 200grams or so...wobbles...and I get no flight time. Pretty much full throttle all the time. I believe mine works slightly under specs (I looked them up but I can't remember how much it can lift, only that it didn't live up to the specs). It's not the board itself, but the associated peripherals..like the IR camera - but even more than that the battery. Also, alot of the power of that thing would be wasted for the task I have in mind, at least in the manner I want to try and make it do the work.
I just need a board that can detect IR variance, and then focus it's efforts around that area - all while flying a parrot within defined boundaries (property lines associated /w an onboard nav, a radio fence..who knows, haven't got that far yet). Ideally it would be simple, cheap, and built entirely to-purpose...like a hammer. It's farm equipment, after all. I'm sure that an actual engineer could whip something up in no time, professionally....but that doesn't sound like a hell of alot of fun.
(I want to get my daughter one, though, just for fun)
-or did you mean helpful in learning architecture? The answer to that is no, absolutely not - though I've been told they're great for flaunting what you -already- know in attaching peripherals..lol.....
