Ever had your drone flying at tens of yards in the air when suddenly the battery runs out and it plummets to its death? Well, fear no more! Find a 5V power source, build a small parachute that you think is best, and grab some code to make it run! When your drone plummets towards Earth, the altimeter will take notice and deploy the parachute. This does require some of your own experimentation, but it may very well be worth it.
And what's best about this is you control it. If you just use some commercial drone parachute, it might not work the way you want. For example, if you fly high, it might deploy too high and send your drone flying half a mile with the wind, of if you fly at a low but dangerous height, it might not deploy quick enough. This way, you set it yourself based on what you personally want!
Whatever you try, this is not guaranteed to work!
