⬇︎ That's all you need! Let's Think About Our First Flight Plan! ⬇︎

How Do Typical Drones Work?

Most Drones and Aircraft use a combination of radio signals from GPS (Global Positioning Systems) Satellites and Land Based Radio Signals from GBAS (Ground Based Augmentation Systems).

Computers on your smart phone, outdoor drone and aircraft receive the signal from several satellites that they use to form triangles. In high school math classes, you will learn about using triangulation: this is the process of using the parts of a triangle to measure angles and distances. This is how the devices figure out where they are on the face of the earth.

However, our Tello Drone is designed to fly indoors where it cannot receive GPS signals. How does the Tello know where it is and how far to fly when you program it?

Click to find out!

Our Drone Has 'Eyes'!

Our Tello Drone doesn't have a GPS receiver (and it wouldn't work indoors if it did), so it uses optical sensors (cameras) to calculate changes in sizes of objects below the drone and and in front of drone as it flies.

Tello work best in a well-lit space. We will look at visual clues in our Drone Proving Ground to plan our flights.

Look at the floor of the space that your teacher has given you to fly.
Do you see any visual clues, patterns, or landmarks?
Look at your surroundings.
What objects are there in the room that you need to avoid?
Use your tape measure to determine the dimensions of the space that you will be flying in.

Try This: Take off from the center of the Helipad. Slowly slide the Helipad across the floor. What does the drone do? Why?

MAKE a Map of Your Flight Space

Pilots need to use navigation charts (maps) to build a flight path before they take off. Before you program your first Tello Flight, let's MAKE a map of your Drone Proving Ground.

Key to MAKING this map is to use your measurements to represent your flight area and travel plans as accurately as possible.

Draw it to scale and label the scale at the bottom of your plan (for example, One Block = One Meter)

Your Choice (but as your technology teacher, I would suggest you do this digitally, that way you can reuse your file again and again):

Get a piece of graph paper and draw the boundaries of your room, furniture, obstacles, where people are, etc. on a physical sheet of graph paper.
Download the template pictured above in a Numbers format (for iPads and Macintosh computers). Add, delete or modify to represent each object to scale.
Download the template pictured above in a Excel format (for Windows and Chromebook computers). Add, delete or modify to represent each object to scale.

Hints:
After selecting an object, try using the arrow keys to move it a pixel at a time.
Hold the shift key down while resizing the object if you don't want them to distort (like a square becoming a rectangle).

File a Flight Plan

File a Flight Plan with Your Teacher

Take the Flight Space Map that you created, duplicate it, save it as period_last_names-Square.
Arrange the cones and the helipad in a 10' X 10' square pattern as shown in the sample above.
(all the stuff in red is just instructions, you don't need to include that)
Show with arrows where you are going to fly (shown in purple below).
Email or Airdrop a Copy of This to Your Teacher.

Fly the Flight Plan: Square

Fit My Video Tag

Try to fly up to 4 feet altitude, and around the square made by the cones.
See how close you can get to flying out from the middle of the Helipad, turn right or left and fly over each cone. Drone should return to the Helipad, as close to center as possible.
Make multiple trials, tweak your code as needed.
Watch the flight path carefully – see if you can quantify (quantify means to measure with a quantity or number) or somehow estimate what the margin of error for the flight paths are.
After your best flight, repeat and record a movie. Try to hold the camera steady and follow the drone around so we can see how close you came to the cones.
Send a copy of the video to your teacher.

Bonus Round - Extra Credit!

Extra Credit: Create a program to fly diagonally across the center of the square, splitting it into 2 right angled isosceles triangles.

Hint: You know the length of two sides of the triangle (10 feet) - how do you find the length of the longest side? Pythagorean Theorem!
Submit your Triangle Flight Video to Mr. Shupe and collect your reward!

Measure Carefully!

STEAM professionals (like you!) are very focused on accurately measuring things and making quantitative observations.

Drones are expensive pieces of equipment, cargo may be valuable, running to another aircraft, a person or building is not acceptable, and in real world applications, you may not get second chances.

Your Employer

In order to program an autonomous drone to fly a crucial mission, (unmanned) we need to have accurate distances, compass headings, and altitudes.

You will need

EXACTLY WHERE do you want to go?
What objects do you need to avoid in order to get there?

If you were programming a drone to make an organ delivery for a near death patient, you can't afford to keep trying until you make it.
