It’s a fully open source product, both hardware and software. As soon as the project is succesfully funded, everything design related will be publicly available: the full code, the electronics schematic and board layout, and the 3D models.</span> </div> <div class="e_p"> These games include laser combats, drone racing, challenges, and many more games like capture the flag or defend your base. Some of the games are only possible thanks to Droiko’s main accessory (Checkpoints) to define special areas during gaming, for example: control points for your customized racing track or your base where you can land to refill simulated ammunition. </div> <div class="e_p"> It also features simulated proximity weapons, this means it can emit a short range radio-frequency signal that “hits” nearby Droikos. </div> <div class="e_p"> Droiko can be flown using the smartphone free app or using any standard RC transmitter, and a beginner mode can be selected so anyone can fly it. </div> <div class="e_p"> Droiko and its Checkpoints can be easily reprogrammed, using Bluetooth or external ARM programmers to load new code, make changes or debug it. The Droiko App uses Bluetooth to wirelessly update Droiko’s and Checkpoints’ firmware, so you will be able to get new features and games easily. Thanks to the expansion port, Checkpoints are a perfect platform for learning, creating addons or even using them for other projects. They will provide the coding environment (based on Eclipse) and the software tools needed to reprogram Droiko and its Checkpoints. </div> <div class="e_p"> They are also working hard in order to achieve Arduino, mBed and Microbit compatibility, among others. </div> <div class="e_p"> Key Features </div> <ul> <li> Ready to use gaming drone, just take it out of the box and start playing.
