Will It Fly? Testing My DIY Drone from Simulation to Reality | PRJ-002 Ep. 3

From simulation to real flight! 🚁 In episode 3 of my drone build, I test the software before taking the Holybro X500 V2 with its Pixhawk 6X into the air. I start with Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) testing, where the drone’s flight software runs in a simulated environment. Then it’s time to move from the virtual world to the real drone and see how it performs in flight. Will everything work as expected? Let’s find out! ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Intro 00:58 - Recap, what is the drones hardware 02:56 - Recap, why I got the drone 04:08 - Testing the drone in SITL 11:01 – Heading to the field 11:51 – MAIDEN FLIGHT 🚁 15:16 – Testing failsafe mechanism 17:43 – Outro 🛠️ THE BUILD Frame: Holybro X500 V2 Flight controller: Pixhawk 6X Follow the series as I build, configure, test, and fly my own drone.
