Summary

In this chapter, we have gone through the different sensors that are present in a drone and how each sensor is useful for stable and safe flight. Knowledge of these sensors helps the system engineer design new applications, and this also helps firmware engineers design new algorithms to play with them.

In the next chapter, we will learn more about how these sensors help in flying in different flight modes and how these data are interpreted by the flight Controller.
