Python Drone

Objective - Learning computer science skills and the Python programming language in a team setting to control a Tello EDU mini-drone.

Research Flights and Codes

First Flight

This was the first thing we programmed with python on the drone. This made the drone lift off of the ground and land back on the ground.

Huloop Obstacle

The pictures below show the program for a hula-hoop obstacle course. The drone had to take off, fly forward and around a broomstick, then turn and land on a platform. Then, it would take off again, turn and fly back around the broom stick and back to the original platform where it would land.

Short Flight

In this program, the drone took off, flew forward to another platform, and landed.

Turning Obstacle - The two pictures below show the program used to cause the drone to make turns. In this program, the drone took off and flew forward then turned a 90 degree angle around a broom stick, then flew forward again to land on a platform.

User Input

This caused the program to ask the user their name and age then produce a sentence that stated that person's name and their age.

Variables

This caused the program to direct the user to input a certain number of days. It would then tell the user how many seconds are in that many days.

Challenge Flights

Octagon Drone Code

This allowed the drone to turn and fly at 45 degree angles to create an octagon.

Polygon Drone Code

This caused the code to take the number that the user input and divide 360 by that number to get the angle number needed to make the correctly angled turns to make a polygon with that number of sides.

Stay in Your Lane Code

This code allowed the drone to take off, go forward and through the hoop, turn 90 degrees, go forward, and land in the smaller hula-hoop.

Circle Code

In this code, the drone makes a total of three circles, one horizontal, one vertical, and one diagonal. To do this, we had to create two half circles for each total circle.

Limbo Obstacle Course Code

This caused the drone to take off, go forward and down, go forward again under the broom, go up and over the storage unit, forward again, then down into the hula-hoop landing area.
