Python Drone

Objective - Learn computer science skills and the Python programming language in a team setting to control a Tello EDU minidrone

What is Python?

Python is an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics. Its high-level built in data structures, combined with dynamic typing and dynamic binding, make it very attractive for Rapid Application Development, as well as for use as a scripting or glue language to connect existing components together. Python's simple, easy to learn syntax emphasizes readability and therefore reduces the cost of program maintenance. Python supports modules and packages, which encourages program modularity and code reuse. The Python interpreter and the extensive standard library are available in source or binary form without charge for all major platforms, and can be freely distributed.

The Tello drone is responding to the code presented on the left. It experiences some frequency issues as well as drifting, but other than that it performs the tasks required.

Stay In your lane : The goal for this code is to take off from horizontal position, fly forward, use left/right to make a 90 degree turn, fly forward again, and then land

StayInYourLane.MOV

Limbo Limbo : The goal for this code is to take off, drop down, fly forward, lift up, fly forward again, then land.

Limbo.MOV

Octagon: The goal for this code is to take off, make an octagon in the air using cw or ccw and Loop. Finally return to start point

Octagon.MOV

Regular Polygon: The goal for this code is to have the user input a number of sides, take off, make a polygon in air, then land.

NormalPolygon.MOV

Circles In The Air: The goal for this code is to take off, use a curve to make horizontal circle, use a curve to make vertical circle, use a curve to make diagonal circle, then land.

CITA.MOV

Obstacle Touch and Go: The goal for this code is to take off, use go command to travel diagonally , land, take off again, use go command to move diagonally once more, then land.

Drone.go.MOV

Vertical Regular Polygon: The goal for this code is to have the user Input a number of sides, take off, make a polygon in air, then land.

Vertical Polygon.MOV

Drone Walk: The goal for this code is to make a zig zag path using 8 flips, making the drone "walk". Then land.
