AeroLink – Autonomous Tracking and Extension System for INAV Drones

What is AeroLink?
AeroLink is a compact, lightweight, autonomous device designed to integrate with any drone equipped with INAV firmware. It connects via telemetry and allows the drone to follow another target (such as another drone or vehicle) using GPS coordinates. All control is performed through MSP (MultiWii Serial Protocol) commands, requiring no manual intervention.

Características principales:

• Batería integrada: Totalmente autónomo en energía, ideal para misiones prolongadas. Con cable de alimentación y balance compatible con cargador Lipo-Liion

• Dual LCD Displays: Real-time information on status, position, and connection. Mini LCD for Raspberry Pi status, OLED for drone control and telemetry.

• Telemetry Connectivity: Compatible with standard drone radio frequency links (e.g., 433 MHz, 915 MHz, etc.).

• Control de posición GPS: AeroLink puede enviar comandos de seguimiento precisos al dron vinculado, funcionando como guía móvil.

• Comunicación MSP: Utiliza mensajes estándar para interactuar de forma segura y eficiente con el controlador de vuelo.

Key Applications:

• Automatic Drone Guidance: Ideal for synchronized flights or tracking moving targets (vehicles, people, etc.).

• Signal Repeater: Intelligently positions the drone to act as an intermediary node, extending the range of other drones on long-range missions.

• Autonomous Surveillance: Perfect for automatic patrols in borders or sensitive areas, allowing the operator to focus exclusively on the payload (such as thermal or HD cameras).

• Asistencia piloto: Libera al piloto del control de vuelo, facilitando el trabajo en tareas más complejas como inspección visual, análisis en tiempo real o filmación profesional.

Competitive Advantages:

• Plug & Play with any INAV drone

• Full autonomy and operation without the need for additional RC controllers

• Potential for multi-drone cooperative operations

• Capability for swarm network creation

• Ideal for DIY projects, security companies, research, or aerial cinematography
