Projects

This code repository contains the mission files and the general architecture for several mission types which can be executed with drones, namely:

• Breath Condensate Collection from a Cetacean
• Wireless Tracker Tagging for a large Cetacean
• Photogrammetry for Animal Studies
• Point-of-Interest Data Collection
• Environmental Exploration
• Waypoint Navigation
• Sense and Avoid of Unfriendly Multirotors

Each of these missions is designed in a mission file. This mission file is then executed by a generic autonomy structure based upon State Configured Layer Control (SCLC) which controls the actions of the drone.

Running this Code

Still under construction

RC override:

All computer control can be overridden by switching ch. 6 on the transmitter to a value greater than 1500.

keyboard controls:

m = stabilize (sort of manual) l = loiter o = auto r = arm t = disarm p = open planner

joystick controls:

specific to joystick and not finalized yet
