What else has been added to the Skydio 21.0.61 in the software’s version?
System of Lock Beacon
By activating Lock Beacon Controls, you may now block button interactions on the go in your Skydio Beacon. This prevents undesirable actions during flight, such as unintentional instruction to halt tracking. This capability comes in handy when keeping the Beacon in a pocket or a bag or connecting to something other than oneself.
User account deletion
It is now instantly possible to delete an account permanently, which will destroy all flight data related to your Skydio 2/2+ drone. However, remember that this move is irreversible, and you will not be able to restore your account data.
Connection Status
You can now see the power of the connection between your controlling device and the drone, the GPS accuracy, and the number of satellites to which your drone is linked. To view the connected drone’s status, the signal’s power, GPS quality, trustability, and the satellite count, choose the Status icon showing connection and check.
Skydio 21.0.61 Keyframe
The highest speed you may select for the KeyFrame currently is 29 mph (13 m/s), according to Skydio. During the flight, use the roll joystick to modify the pace of the KeyFrame intuitively. You may select one of three options in the available KeyFrame skill settings menu:
Absolute: Input from the roll joystick immediately transfers to drone movements. Skydio will come to a halt whenever the joystick is centered.
Relative: Rolling the joystick boosts or reduces speed. The Skydio 2/2+ drone will keep its current speed whenever the joystick is centered.
Off: The roll joystick movement does not affect the speed.
Case Landing Improvements
Skydio 21.0.61 will possibly require one second of total joystick inputs to open the case to decrease the possibility of canceling the Case Landing because of an inadvertent nudge. Tap the blue case symbol to restart a Case Landing.
Skydio 21.0.61 Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS)
To enhance wireless transmission signal quality during flight, your Skydio 2/2+ drone will detect signal interference and shift to a cleaner channel by default. You may change this by picking a different channel.
