AT219 Remote ID Fact Check (Lab 1)

Image
 Michael Holland Introduction Remote ID is a technology that broadcasts the drone's location, altitude, and identity. This allows other people to see where the drone is. There are three methods for complying. The first method is Standard Remote ID, which is where the Remote ID is broadcast as a part of the drone's hardware and software. In other words, it is "built-in". The second method of compliance if you have a drone without Standard RID is to buy a separate module that you can attach to the drone. This is called a "broadcast module". The third method is for drones without Remote ID. You can operate one of these drones in an FAA- Recognized Identification Area, which is an area exempt from the Remote ID requirements. Verify DJI Mavic 2 Pro is RID Compliant The FAA has a Declaration of Compliance page with a list of all Remote ID aircraft that have been officially approved by the FAA. This list contained the Mavic 2 Pro which means the FAA has verified th...

Working with Ground Control Points (AT309 Week 12)

Image
In the lab, we worked with Ground Control Points which allow the data processing to be more accurate by spreading out "anchor points" throughout the area that contains known locations. Below is my notes is how to add GCPs into Pix4D Mapper software.  -Download data from t drive/class data and put it onto the computer's C drive or an external hard drive. -Open the turffarmNov2 Excel CSV file, copy columns A-E and paste it into a new excel file. Save it as Simplified Data, and as a CSV type file.   Figure 1- Simplified Data of GCP coordinates   Figure 2- Showing simplified data location -Open Pix4D, start a new project and put in images from the lawnmower- patterned scan with the Mavic. -Once at the processing screen, hit project -> GPC manager, and import the simplified data file that we just made with the A-E   Figure 3- GCP/MTP manager   Figure 4- GCP manager with imported data -Once you import these GCPs, they will show up as blue crosses on the processing ...

AT219 Arduino Uno Programming Part (Lab 5)

Image
With this lab, we continued creating circuits using a breadboard and programming certain functions. This activity was valuable because I got to learn and critically think about how circuits should be wired and introduced to more programming. The first circuit I built and programmed was to read the value of a photoresistor and create an output with an LED. A photoresistor measures the amount of light. This means the more light the photoresistor measures, the brighter the LED will get. To do this, I set up two separate circuits. In the first one, the Arduino measures the value of the photoresistor with a resistor in series. The second creates another circuit with a separate pin as an output. I also coded a serial function to write in text what the value of the photoresistor was. I mapped the values to be between 0-255 so we can get precise adjustments of the LED. The second circuit was slightly more complicated. It was a similar setup except there were two inputs and two outputs. I used ...
