    Issues with SkyController Remapping on Ubuntu 22.04 & ROS 2

    Oh really? Telnet gives you direct shell access (kernel level) with root permissions, the filesystem is mainly read only but you can change it with running mount -o remount,rw / . Modifying the firmware is actually really easy and safe if you follow some basic rules: NEVER modify the script for...

    Parrot bebop '1.5'/ 'power' mod.

    We shall soon be off for a test flight! I made a custom 1500mAh battery from some 30A discharge cells I had around and made a custom script on the drone's firmware that activates 'fpv mode', after 5 short presses of the power button it disables stabilization and filtering algorithms and streams...
