Hovermap-Zoe user manual

Release date: 01 Nov 2021
Revision: 1.0

•

Pilot Assist mode:

Recommended in a GPS-denied environment. Disable VESH, land the drone,

and then hold only the throttle down until the motors are off.

Altitude-Hold/Loiter mode:

Switch out of Hovermap mode, land the drone and hold the left

stick on the controller down for 3 seconds until the motors stop.

4.4.3.6 Step 6: Downloading the data

When you have finished scanning, or the motors are off, press

Stop

in the app to end the scan.

After the LiDAR sensor has stopped rotating, insert a USB flash drive into either of the two USB
ports to download the scan data.

When the transfer is complete, the status LED will switch to a slow pulsing blue. When this
happens, remove the USB flash drive.

4.4.3.7 Step 7: Shut down

To shut down the Hovermap, turn off the Zoe or disconnect the Hovermap power cable once the
status LED shows a slow pulsing blue.

Note

The status LED will change to flashing light blue while the data is transferring to
the USB flash drive. All data captured since the last transfer will be copied to the
USB drive.
