Mavic Pro data access (nonfiction)

The Mavic Pro drone provides two relatively accessible points of data access which might be used with accessory hardware (Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.):

• USB data output port - this is standard output to download files from the drone to a computer.
  • TO DO: find out: will it work in-flight?
• Micro SD card port - hack using extender cable, tap cable wires for signals.

More challenging hacks include:

• Hack the camera telemetry, for example setting the camera's ISO value sends a signal to the accessory hardware.
