Updated Skydio X10 Overheating Alerts and Behavior

  • Improves the drone overheating alert model
  • Better accuracy and cadence of drone overheating alerts 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]
