This section allows operators to check the Docking Station's real-time health status and enables them to perform maintenance controls and Docking Station commands.
Docking Station
Docking station status
The docking station health card indicates the current status of the docking station. The docking station has the following states:
Remote debugging: When the docking station is undergoing maintenance from the control station i.e., in the FlytBase application, the status will be displayed as remote debugging.
Onsite debugging: When any binding/debugging activity is being performed on-site directly from the docking station, the status will be displayed as onsite debugging.
Idle: When the docking station is not in use, the status will be displayed as Idle.
Docking Station Storage: The docking station storage provides information about the available data and total storage capacity of the docking station.
Video feed
The docking station health includes the video feed from the Docking station camera. You can toggle the available video feed on or off as needed for viewing.
Docking station position
The docking station's position in the health status indicates the GPS health status of the docking station.
GPS Fix: The GPS fix indicates the current GPS health of the GPS system in the docking station.
“Fixed” status means the GPS position is locked and is ready for missions.
"Open" status means the GPS position is not locked and not ready for missions. The drone cannot take off with this status.
GPS Satellites: The GPS satellite count represents the number of satellites that the docking station can lock onto for accurate positioning. If the satellite count is low, the docking station will not allow any flights.
RTK Satellites: The RTK satellite count refers to the number of satellites available for RTK (Real-Time Kinematics) to achieve precise landing on the docking station after a mission. If the RTK satellite count falls below the required threshold, the docking station will not allow precision landing on the docking station. Instead, the drone will move to the alternate landing site for landing that is set by the user.
Environment:
The environment card allows you to monitor the H.V.A.C (Internal) values of the docking station as well as Weather (External) conditions.
H.V.A.C stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning unit.

Heating: The H.V.A.C. unit has initiated heaters to increase the temperature and increase back to the ideal temperature for the docking station’s use.
Cooling: The H.V.A.C. unit has initiated coolers to reduce the temperature and reduce it back to the ideal temperature for the docking station’s use.
Dehumidifying: The H.V.A.C. unit has initiated dehumidifiers to reduce the humidity of the docking station. This enables the docking station to maintain standard conditions for efficient usage.
Weather (External): The weather card provides information on the external weather conditions at the docking station’s location, using the integrated weather station in the docking station.
Temperature: External temperature conditions of the docking station can be monitored using the integrated weather station attached to the docking station. Temperature is measured in degrees Celsius by default.
Wind: Wind speed at the location of the docking station can be monitored using the integrated weather station attached to the docking station. Wind speed is measured in meters per second by default.
Rain: Rain at the location of the docking station can be monitored using the integrated weather station attached to the docking station. Rain is measured in millimeters by default.
