Hello all,
I am trying to make a flight control system in node red. The description of the project/simulation is as follows:
- Inject nodes to show or update the position of UAV in the Map
- A Speed Slider which when the speed is increased will make the UAV move in the map in any direction (for e.g. N,S,E,W)
- Buttons to turn the UAV in any direction as above
- When pressing the button it would also rotate the UAV marker/icon in that direction
I am confused as to how I can start this project/simulation. Any help or ideas would be appreciated by the forum. My current flow is below:
