Dev turns DJI Mavic into local AI security drone built with Opus 5.5

Developer @0xCodez shares a step-by-step build turning a DJI Mavic into a home security drone, with Claude Code (Opus 5.5) driving the reverse engineering. Everything runs on-device — no cloud, no GPS on the target. The pipeline: check the drone against DJI Mobile SDK v5 support (no firmware hacks), build an app via the official SDK (Swift/Kotlin), integrate Home Assistant alarms for one-tap launch, run a tiny YOLO model on the phone's chip (Core ML/LiteRT), and use a Kalman filter so tracking re-locks the same ID after occlusion. The author also linked a full course on reverse-engineering anything with Opus 5.5.
