Welcome to the drone programming primer for drones, where you will learn software projects that are fueling the progression of today’s drones!
The collection of software languages for drones is transcending its hobbyist roots and is branching out into business applications at a high rate. This is going to translate to demand for drone engineers/developers who understand drone languages. Students learn the fascinating fundamentals of these machines, including programming, customization, acquisition, and commercial use. Rather than building drones from the ground up, students take advantage of existing products and resources, the Tello drone, to adapt to meet specific needs. The course includes programming, operations, flight, drone design, sensing systems, mission planning, regulations, and safety. Students will learn to program and test the Tello drone using Python. In this course you will learn how to set up your Python programming environment and communicate with Tello using UDP, the User Datagram Protocol.
