Wind estimation method with our UAV
Hi, I throw it there because I believe that the use of drones can also be not only to take pictures.
I am a fan of meteorology and I like to combine the various passions.
Wind is the means by which our drone flies. Knowing the wind in real time would be very nice.
Here is an article explaining how to estimate speed using acceleration.
But I don't know if we have all the necessary information with the information that the DJI SDK gives us.

Moving to feature requests.
This is not currently possible because Dronelink uses advanced mode in virtual stick, which essentially means that all the wind compensation happens onboard in DJI's code. We would need to implement a component type that was specifically for this feature, and the native app would need to be smart enough to disable advanced mode while it was running. Most of the code that would need to be modified for this is open source. If you submit a PR, I would be open to doing the component type in the kernel.
Hum, you are right. Using the virtual sticks it does all the DJI's code.
I take a look at the code, as I also have to do this for the other problem of making the function window larger according to my needs.
I'll do some tests and if it goes well I'll do the pull request on github. I also need to know better the DJI sdk I joined a few days ago.
Sounds good. Don't forget Android.
Wow, You guys are way to smart for my old brain. I’m just trying to learn all the basics and some advanced commands, components and functions to fly missions for personal enjoyment. Lol. Good luck.

Simple method - if possible :
1 record gps position - drone does not move.
2 switch gps mode off for 15 seconds - wind will move our drone away...
3 switch gps mode on and record gps position.
Computing 3 - 2 gives the distance flown during that period -> we know wind speed.
