Updated Skydio X10D Overheating Alerts and Behavior

  • Improved the drone overheating alert model for better accuracy and cadence with updated user guidance
  • Disables obstacle avoidance at high temperatures to reduce power draw and lower drone temperature. If the drone temperature drops back down during flight, obstacle avoidance will be re-enabled

[note] Temperature alerts are based on internal drone components that are significantly higher than ambient temps. [/note]
