I've been working on an intriguing project called Drone Doctor, which aims to serve as an AI-powered troubleshooting tool specifically for FPV builds and repairs. The idea is straightforward: you describe a symptom, like a motor not spinning or an ESC overheating, and you get potential causes along with suggested checks. Plus, you can upload Blackbox logs for easy-to-understand insights. The goal isn't to replace community support but to make finding the right fix quicker. I'm curious to know if you'd actually consider using something like this?

Nah, not for me. I'm just not really a fan of AI tools. Plus, FPV drones are all about DIY skills; relying on AI might actually hinder your learning. It’s just easier for me to stick to good ol' Google or trusted sources like Joshua Bardwell for troubleshooting. My big question is, how different is this from just using ChatGPT? What’s special about your tool that makes it better?
I'm not sure I'd trust an AI with this. It feels like it'd just be pulling info from Google, which I can do myself. I’m not saying it's a bad concept, but I’d definitely be wary of its accuracy.
I totally understand your perspective! The main difference with Drone Doctor is that it's specifically designed for FPV issues, so it provides structured troubleshooting that's based on real quad problems like ESC faults or tuning issues. It's definitely not here to take away your DIY skills; rather, it aims to save time for pilots who might need quick help in the field. It's still in the testing phase, and I'd love to know if it really adds value!
