Project 2b Fall 23 Aerial Robotics

Overview:

You are provided a Jetson Orin Nano for running perception and motion planning algorithms. The motion commands are sent from Jetson to DJI Tello drone connected over WIFI.

Instructions:

  1. Jetson Orin Nano - Ubuntu Shell access without internet/ethernet/wifi setup

    • Connect the provided DC power adapter to Jetson Orin Nano and wait for a minute to boot up.

    • Connect a USB-C cable from host PC and Jetson Orin Nano. Use a serial terminal like gtkterm to gain shell access into Jetson.

    • Login using the user name and password (pasted on the Jetson board).

  2. Jetson Orin Nano - Internet access

    With GUI:

    • Connect monitor, keyboard and mouse to Jetson.
    • Power up the unit and login.
    • Connect to WPI-Open and follow these instructions for setting up internet.

    Without GUI:

    • Use a wifi hotspot with some known password
    • Once you have shell access over USB, follow this page for setting wifi up

  3. Jetson Orin Nano - Software Setup

    • Install tensorflow and (or) pytorch on Jetson board
    • Get SSH access up and running
    • You may additionally want to setup vscode-server for programming Jetson from host machine
    • Create a private repository on GitHub for storing your project codes. In case, the SSD on Jetson crashes, you may lose your code otherwise.

  4. Tello Setup

    • Remove the propellers from Tello
    • Insert the battery and press the power button
    • You will see a open wifi hotspot with a unique ssid name (pasted on Tello drone)
    • Insert the additional wifi dongle into Jetson
    • Connect to the Tello's wifi hotspot using the wifi dongle. You will still have internet access in Jetson (from the inbuilt wifi antenna)
    • Clone this repository on Jetson
    • Install DJItelloPy library
    • $python tello_sample.py
    • Check the outputs folder, make sure you are getting images from the drone
    • Attach the propellers and move on to flight testing
