Never would imagine to make 2 planes follow autonomously takes so much effort, what you have achieved here is amazing, just understood that after watching this video, Tim the Great Planeman :)
Very interesting video, for the GPS telemetry exchange what speed can you get this up to? I’m working antenna tracker code (fixed point to manoeuvring object).
I'm just using Sik telemetry radios at 57600 baud, the code recalculates at 20Hz, this seems to be good enough. I use the Sik telemetry radios with my Crossbow Mini antenna tracker and it also seems to be fine.
Congratulations 🎉 But can you get closer? ❤ Are you able to use go pro? I can see it has taken a lot to get to this point. I would not be able to do that myself. So well done. ❤
And yes I can get closer. I didn't want to go too close at first just to avoid crashing. I'l be doing some more flights to see how close I can safely get.
The AP_Follow library already does most of the heavy lifting, but I had to add some bindings. I hope my PR can get accepted with the necessary changes. Your support might be helpful, are you on the ardupilot discord?
@@houssamaldeenolabi3121 If you can build the code yourself, you can use my PR, or you can wait, hopefully soon it will be included in ArduPilot github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/pull/27137/commits

It's not even as easy as it looks in the videos. Thanks!
Just plane awesome (pun intended)!! Man I'd love to hang out at your airfield one day when you're flying, so much I could learn from you!!!
Thanks Tim!
This is Awesome and the song is Bad Ass!🤘
Thanks mate!
very good job
Thanks mate
Excellent thread-
Hard to tell the story, but I think I got it.

Thanks Nick. Not on the plane, but the two planes in the sky shots were all go-pro which I use as my hat cam.

That's really cool Tim, it looks like we're working to the same end, yours is high tech, mine low tech 😅
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes Yes I noticed that Cliff. What you are doing is quite interesting.
Got a link to that song?? That’s awesome!
You'll just have to watch my videos. Check out th-cam.com/video/U3KweUocOEA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cDvEK39n8y06014j
Thats an amazing effort. I am trying to do this as well but still being stuck in acquiring target plane’s parameters via Lua scripts.

@@timtheplaneman not yet, could you pls share the link?
@@hieuspirit discord.gg/GmJdu46y
There is a server that sends the coordinates of the planes constantly. Can I use the script to track the most suitable plane through the data sent?
I'm sure you could. Sorry your question is a bit vague. If you want detailed help please send email to tim@objectivedata.com
I also have a plane and I want to make it track another plane. How can I do this?
Are you running ArduPilot?
@@timtheplaneman yes I am using ardupilot
