As mentioned in Activity 11, another option for controlling unmanned aircraft is dynamic flight planning. In general, in the drone platform, we use a Raspberry py as an onboard computer. The programs for our onboard computer are written in Python 2.7 by importing the Dronekit library. In this phase of Read more…
Generally, there are 3 main types of control for unmanned aircraft flights which are manual flight, static flight plan, and dynamic flight plan. The manual flight control had been done in the previous activities. Here in this section, we will concentrate more on the static flight plan. Since one of Read more…
In this section we will see how to open the telemetry logs from all our flight tests and how to analyze them. In this case we will learn how to work with the ground telemetry logs, which are stored in the computer we used as a ground station. In order Read more…
Once we have assemblied our drone and all the components are already on the frame, we are only one step away from being able to fly it for the very first time: the calibration. In order to calibrate our drone and some of the sensors we will be using MissionPlanner. Read more…
The aim of this section is to learn the basics of how to configure and calibrate an autopilot for your drone. In our case, we used the Pixhawk Orange Cube. For the different steps of this process we followed the video on the following link: PixHawk/Mission Planner/ArduCopter Build for Beginners: Read more…
