Power up the drone by connecting the battery. Wait for one full minute while the plane
automatically calibrates itself.
Fasten the compartment cover. Note the two knobs on the top of each wing, close to
the central body. These are used to fasten a special elastic band from each wing across
the compartment cover, so that the band lends support to the wings and assists in
keeping the compartment closed.
Your drone is now physically ready for its mission.
Now connect to Dronee WIFI network on iPad. Open Dronee app. Dronee is now
receiving the mission instructions by wireless from the iPad.
Wait until plane icon gets solid. It gets solid after calibration completes and has solid
GPS signal
Note:
on first use getting solid GPS signals might take up to 5 minutes. If it doesn't get
solid GPS signals follow instruction on page 1234
3.3 Planning a mission
First, connect Dronee WIFI on tablet. Go to Settings->WIFI-> Dronee
a.
Open DRONEE app on tablet
Check drone indicators on CONTROL tab to make sure all works.
b.
Go to SETTINGS tab, select which camera you will use on your drone. Adjust Side
Lap, OVER lap, Buffer percentage. If you want high quality orthomosaic, it is
recommended that you use side lap, overlap between 60-80%. This will reduce the
area that can be surveyed on a single flight, but you will get high quality results after
post processing. It is recommended that the Buffer be set between 10 and 20%.
Note:
This is a onetime procedure if you are using same camera with same settings.
c.
Go to MISSION tab
d.
Go to the area on the map where you want to make survey, just simply slide map
with finger.
e.
Add SURVEY -hold finger on screen, from Flight Functions select SURVEY, it will
add surveying patter to the map, and then resize the survey Grids to over the area,
by holding from the edges of survey grid by finger. You can also add multiple
survey grids to the mission.
f.
Add LAND- hold finger on map where you want to land your drone and add LAND
to that coordinate, then press this LAND coordinate again and Drone approach
angle to landing point will appear. simple hold finger on plane icon and rotate.
Note:
Dronee starts to approach to landing from 350 m, so the landing area in 350-meter
radius should be clear of objects or structures.
