Frequently Asked Questions:

Q1. How does the JIYI Front Obstacle Avoidance Radar Sensor improve drone safety?

Ans. The JIYI Front Obstacle Avoidance Radar Sensor significantly improves drone safety by continuously scanning the area in front of the drone for obstacles using 24GHz radar technology. It provides real-time distance data to the flight controller, enabling the drone to automatically slow down, bypass, or stop before colliding with objects like trees, power lines, buildings, or even small branches, especially crucial during autonomous missions or in environments with limited visibility.

Q2. What are the advantages of using radar technology compared to other sensing methods like LiDAR or ultrasonic for obstacle avoidance?

Ans. Radar technology, as used in the JIYI sensor, offers several advantages for drone obstacle avoidance, particularly its "all-weather" capability. Unlike optical sensors (like LiDAR or cameras) that can be affected by dust, fog, rain, or strong light, radar penetrates these conditions effectively. It also provides reliable detection at night. While LiDAR offers high precision and ultrasonic is good for short-range, radar excels in maintaining performance in challenging environmental conditions over a decent range.

Q3. Is the JIYI Front Obstacle Avoidance Radar Sensor compatible with flight controllers other than JIYI's K++ and KX series?

Ans. The JIYI Front Obstacle Avoidance Radar Sensor primarily communicates via a CAN (Controller Area Network) interface and is specifically designed for seamless integration with JIYI's own K++ and KX series flight controllers, which are commonly found in their agricultural and industrial drone solutions. While it might theoretically be possible to integrate it with other flight controllers that support a CAN bus and have the necessary firmware drivers for JIYI's specific protocol, direct plug-and-play compatibility is usually limited to JIYI's ecosystem.
