Nimbus specs
Nimbus specifications
Nimbus is a ground-side communication module for DroneForge autonomy workflows. It works with DF1 software to connect video, telemetry, and commands between your computer and compatible drones.
The architecture keeps AI processing and mission planning on your computer while Nimbus handles the wireless link.
These specifications summarize the practical requirements developers should review before building with DroneForge. They explain where compute runs, what the drone needs, and how Nimbus fits into the larger autonomy workflow.
Ground-side autonomy stack
DF1 runs AI processing, route planning, perception, mapping, operator control, and guidance on your computer. Nimbus receives telemetry, receives analog video, and sends commands to the aircraft.
Keeping the autonomy stack on the ground makes iteration easier. Builders can test computer vision, mission planning, and control logic with familiar development tools while the drone remains focused on executing commands and reporting flight state.
Developer workflows
Developers use Nimbus for programmable autonomy, object tracking, repeatable data collection paths, recurring recording missions, Nimbus App workflows, and Python Library experiments.
The most common starting points are connecting hardware, validating telemetry, confirming video input, running a simple agent, and replaying a route. From there, teams can build toward inspection, research, agriculture, construction monitoring, search and rescue practice, and custom drone applications.
Review the current documentation, Nimbus App releases, and Python Library notes before each build, because supported workflows, setup notes, and software packaging can change as DroneForge improves the product. Check compatibility before field testing.
