2.1.5 Flight Control System EVO II Pro V3 aircraft provides stable and convenient flight control through its built-in intelligent flight control system. The system supports multiple advanced functions, such as return to home, failsafe, and Starpoint positioning. Each module is described in the following table. Intelligent Flight Control System Module Description IMU Use a 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer to measure the acceleration and angular velocity.
Starpoint mode In this mode, the aircraft uses vision positioning, which is highly dependent on the environment and altitude. The surrounding environment must have sufficient light, and the ground texture must be clear. In addition, the aircraft must fly at an altitude that can be sensed by the vision systems. Otherwise, the aircraft enters the ATTI mode.
2.1.6 Intelligent Flight Features 1. Auto-return This feature is enabled only when the GPS signal is good. To manually activate the auto-return feature, long press the auto-return button ( ) on the remote controller for 3s. After receiving the command, the aircraft will automatically return and land at the preset home point. EVO II Pro V3 aircraft can use its forward vision system to detect and avoid obstacles along the flight route.
The failsafe is triggered whenever one of the following errors occurs: 1) The aircraft continuously calculates the battery power required for returning to the home point. If the battery power is sufficient for the aircraft to return to the home point, the App will show a notification. The failsafe will be activated and the aircraft will start the auto-return process. In the meantime, you can press the Pause button ( 2) ) to regain control over the aircraft.
2.1.7 Omnidirectional Binocular Vision Sensing System The binocular vision sensing systems on the front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom of the EVO II Pro V3 aircraft use image data to calculate the distance between the aircraft and potential obstacles. Once an obstacle is detected, the system will stop the aircraft from flying forwards. The binocular vision systems on the front, rear, and bottom are also equipped with a Starpoint positioning system.
Note The omnidirectional vision sensing system can sense obstacles in directions such as front, rear, top, bottom, left, and right. However, blind areas exist in four diagonal directions. When you fly the aircraft manually, pay attention to the surrounding environment and prompt messages of the App to ensure safety.
