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 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 vision positioning can be realized without 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 GPS and Downward Vision System fail, the flight control will be switched to attitude mode, under which, the
drone fails to realize stable hovering and user needs to correct the flight gesture manually through the control
stick.
The difficulty of drone handling will be increased greatly in ATTI 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 gesture.
The flight speed will be limited in vision positioning (OPTI mode).
When the GPS signal is weak or there is no GPS signal, you will not be able to return the drone and activate
certain functions such as Waypoint Flight or QuickShots.
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 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 tub, 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 will be activated if the drone is flying over discernible
surfaces with 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 will be activated 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 vision positioning flight, the drone will
actively limit its flight speed.
