GPS Racer: worklog #7 - flying at night
Like promised, I took GPS Racer equipped with night vision camera RunCam Night Eagle and IR projectors for a night flight. And it worked. Not as good as I expected, but worked.
- RunCam Night Eagle is sensitive enough to fly at night. Just like that. As long as there is at least some light, you can fly. In my case, full moon and some residual light was fully enough
- IR projectors (3W in total) are underpowered. They help, but up to 3-4 meters. Not any further
- Propellers flooded with IR are so bright... I will have to look for some black props...
- OSD started to flicker out of the blue. I suspect new BEC for IR projectors introduces some noise. I will have to fix it somehow...
