Ignis Operations Manual
Drone Amplified
10. Ignis Menu Button & Number of Ignition Spheres Dropped:
Touching this icon will
open the Ignis Menu. This icon will spin while Ignis is dropping. If Ignis is connected,
the “?” will display the number of ignition spheres that have been dropped.
11. Compass:
Shows which direction North is on the map. Touch this to rotate the map so
that North is up.
12. Home Location:
The yellow circle around the white H is the home location. This is
where the Drone will fly to if the Go Home procedure is initiated, and is the location the
distance display at the bottom is measured relative to.
13. Pilot Location
The small blue dot is the location of the pilot. This is measured by the
tablet’s GPS, or the remote controller. It’s not very accurate.
14. Drone Location and Attitude
The red arrowhead with circles around it marks the
location and orientation of the drone. The icon will also pitch and roll to reflect the
attitude of the drone. Touching this will center the drone in the screen and enter a mode
where the map will move and rotate to follow the drone. Drag the map to break out of
this mode.
15. Map Scale:
Shows the scale of the map.
16. Live Video Feed:
This displays the video being streamed from a camera connected to
the drone. Touching this will maximize it and minimize the map in its place. Touch the
minimized map to switch back to the map view. You can drag this to move it to different
corners of the screen.
17. Drone Horizontal Speed:
Displays the horizontal component of the speed of the drone.
18. Drone Vertical Speed:
Displays the vertical component of the velocity of the drone.
19. Horizontal Distance between Drone and Home:
Displays the horizontal component
of the distance between the drone and the home point.
20. Altitude of Drone:
Displays the altitude of the drone above the takeoff location. If the
app has elevation maps for this area, then it will also display the altitude above ground
level in parenthesis.
Additional information such as lat/lng and altitude above mean sea level can be
configured to display along the bottom row in the app’s settings.
You can zoom, rotate, and translate the map using touch gestures. When the map is
rotated, a compass will appear in the top right corner. Touch the compass to reorient the
map so that north is up.
