The New Mash Up Platform
summary
A DIY system uses a DJI consumer drone unlocked via SDK level two (requires app name, icon and approval) to implement a “follow my skier” mashup: a phone or small tracker uploads lat/long/alt to a private cloud, software converts deltas into ground‑station waypoints and pushes them to the drone or uses the built‑in follow‑me mission. Notes: GPS often shows ~15 m error, barometer sets altitude, battery ~12 minutes, Wi‑Fi range ~800 m, motors are 24‑step devices needing ~4,000 pulses/sec; system proves stable and survives crashes.
