Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. How does the JIYI Flow Meter Sensor contribute to efficient agricultural spraying?

Ans. The JIYI Flow Meter Sensor contributes to efficient agricultural spraying by providing real-time, accurate measurement of the liquid flow rate from the drone's spray system. This data allows the flight controller to precisely adjust the spray volume according to the drone's speed and target area, ensuring uniform coverage of crops. This precision prevents over- or under-spraying, leading to optimized use of expensive pesticides or fertilizers and ultimately improving crop yields while reducing waste.

Q2. Is this flow meter compatible with drone flight controllers other than JIYI's own models?

Ans. The JIYI Flow Meter Sensor is specifically designed and optimized for seamless integration with JIYI's flight controllers, including the K3A, K3A-PRO, and K++ series. While it outputs a standard NPN pulse signal, compatibility with other flight controllers (like Pixhawk or DJI) would require custom wiring and specific firmware configuration or adapters to interpret the pulse data correctly. For plug-and-play functionality and guaranteed performance, it's best used within the JIYI ecosystem.

Q3. What is the significance of the ±10% flow accuracy for agricultural drone applications?

Ans. A ±10% flow accuracy means that the measured flow rate can vary by up to 10% from the actual flow rate. For agricultural drone applications, this level of accuracy is generally considered acceptable for ensuring reasonably uniform spraying across fields. While higher precision might be desirable for certain specialized applications, for general pesticide and fertilizer distribution, this accuracy allows for effective management of liquid resources and helps achieve consistent crop treatment without significant wastage or missed areas.
