Hi,
I have not found any mention of blimps or balloon on this forum or in the wiki.
I was wondering if APM copter could be used with a blimp or balloon since they sort of move like an helicopter, except much more slowly.
I am interested in blimps because of their higher carrying capacity and their ability to hold altitude with a very low expenditure of energy.
I would like to have a blimp with a camera that circles around my home at 50 meters altitude and sends the video feed via a wifi downlink to my servers. I want to make this blimp come back to a landing area with a magnetic induction charging pad and then take off again when the battery is refilled.
I also would like to have a tethered blimp with a high gain antenna on a gimbald. The tether would supply electricity to the blimp. The blimp’s antenna would track a long range FPV glider.
Are those things possible with your autopilot ?
thanks !
