Project Title: Automated Drone Control Using Timers

Objective

To develop a mini project that controls a drone’s flight duration and landing through timer-based
automation, allowing the drone to take off, fly for a specified time, and then land after a delay.

Hardware Requirements

● Drone: A hobby drone capable of being programmed (DJI or Parrot)

● Flight Controller: A compatible controller (Pixhawk or APM)

● Microcontroller: Arduino or Raspberry Pi for programming

● Battery: Ensure adequate power supply for the drone

Software Requirements

● Programming Language: Python or C++

● Drone Control Library:

o For Python: DroneKit

o For C++: ArduPilot

● Development Environment: Arduino IDE (for Arduino), or a suitable IDE for Raspberry Pi

● Simulation Software (Optional): Using software like Gazebo or SITL for testing without a real
drone.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Setting Up the Environment

● Install the necessary software libraries for drone control in system

● Set up development environment and ensure the microcontroller can communicate with the
drone's flight controller.

Step 2: Code Development

● Write a program that:

o Initializes communication between the microcontroller and the drone.

o Takes off the drone using the flight controller API.

o Implements timers for controlling the flight duration and landing.

Coding……
Step 3: Testing and Calibration

● Test the drone's take off, flight duration, and landing using the timer.

● Adjust the timer values based on test results for optimal performance.

Step 4: Data Logging (Optional)

● Implement data logging to record flight parameters like altitude, speed, and battery levels
during the flight.

● Use a simple file write operation to log data on microcontroller.

Step 5: Final Testing

● Conduct multiple test flights to validate the entire process.

● Make adjustments based on flight performance and any encountered issues.

Documentation

● Document code with comments explaining each function and its purpose.

● Create a report detailing project:

o Introduction

o Objectives

o Hardware and software used

o Implementation steps

o Results from testing

o Conclusions and future work

Presentation

● Prepare a presentation summarizing project.

● Include videos or live demonstrations of the drone's operation if possible.
