4. Drone
The product consists of a flight control system, a communication system, a positioning system, a
power system and a smart flight battery. This chapter sets down the functions of all parts of the drone.
4.1 Positioning
Atom SE adopts Potensic's new SurgeFly™ flight control technology, which supports the
following two positioning modes:
GPS positioning: Provide precise positioning and navigation to the drone; support precise
hovering, smart flight and auto return.
Vision positioning: It can realize high-precision positioning at a low altitude based on the
Downward Vision System. The visual positioning can be realized without a GPS signal, so that
the product can be used indoors.
How to switch: The flight control system will switch automatically according to the environment
of the drone. If both the GPS and lower visual system fail, the flight control will be switched to
attitude mode, under which, the drone fails to realize stable hovering and the user needs to
correct the flight gesture manually through the control stick.
The difficulty of drone handling will be increased greatly in the attitude mode; make sure to
master the behaviors and operation of the drone in this mode before using this mode; avoid
flying the drone at a long distance, to avoid risks due to failed judgment of drone gestures.
In visual positioning, smart flight is not supported and flight speed will be restricted.
The difficulty of controlling the drone will increase dramatically in ATTI Mode so make sure to master
the operation of the drone in this mode. Always keep the drone within sight in order to avoid risks in
case of failed judgment of the drone's attitude and direction.
4.2 Downward Vision System
The Atom SE is equipped with a downward vision system, it is
located beneath the drone. The Downward Vision System
consists of a monocular camera and a TOF module. The TOF
module includes a transmitter tube and a receiver tube, it can
precisely calculate the fly height above the ground by
calculating the infrared signals transmission and receiving time.
In combination with the monocular camera, the system can
help achieve high-precision positioning at low altitudes.
Detection Fileds
The Downward Vision System works best when the drone is at an altitude of 0.3 to 5 m, and its operating range
is 0.3 to 10 m.
When GPS is unavailable, the Downward Vision System is enabled if the surface has a discernable surface and
sufficient light. The Downward Vision System works best when the drone is at an altitude of 0.3 to 5 m. If the
drone’s altitude is above 5 m, the Vision System may be affected, so extra caution is required.
How to use
The Downward Vision System has enabled automatically if the positioning conditions are satisfied. The drone tail
indicator blinks cyan twice, which indicates the Downward Vision System is working.
Speed limit: To ensure positioning accuracy and flight safety during visual positioning flight, the drone will actively
limit its flight speed.
User can also switch to attitude mode in App.
