Hi fellows,

I would like to introduce you the Lychee.

Recently we started to Lychee project, now we are accepting pre-orders for the first batch (limited number of Lychee we will produce in this first batch) which will be ship in the second half of January.  

LYCHEE-made for UAV development

Multi-chart and multi-scale features implemented to DRONEE PLOTTER. Now you can visualize multiple log attributes on multiple charts, zoom to the time frame synchronously. Also, you can visualize multiple scale data on the same chart.

DRONEE PLANE comes with super simple to use mission planning software which makes piloting skill unnecessary.

It covers a large area within a short time capturing high-quality images and data. Dronee can withstand high winds and flies for a more extended period and lands in a small space autonomously making it ideal for professional use.

Now DRONEE opens for partnership with resellers.

many drone applications such as photogrammetry, orthophoto generation, 3D terrain modeling etc require to geotag images. There is some geotagging software but we found them complicated to use.

we developed DroneeGeotagger.

DroneeGeotagger in-browser image geotagging software. it is super simple to use and it works in-browser that means no cloud involved. Your data doesn't go to the internet. it is secure )

DroneeGeotagger geotags 1 image in around 0.5 seconds. 

How does it work?

For DroneePlane users

1. Open the browser and go to DroneeGeotagger

2. connect to DoroneePlane's wifi "Dronee",  it will automatically get GPS coordinates from the drone and will list in the browser.

3. Take images from camera and "drag and drop" inside the DroneeGeotagger. It will list images with at least order

4. Press "Geotag all" button. Geotag will start and geotagged images will be saved on the desktop.

For other drones users

1. Open the browser and go to DroneeGeotagger

2. Drag and drop CSV file inside the DroneeGeotagger.It will list GPS coordinates with at least order.

3. Take images from camera and "drag and drop" inside the DroneeGeotagger. It will list images with at least order

4. Press "Geotag all" button. Geotag will start and geotagged images will be saved on the desktop.

Note: Dronee Geotagger is completely free to use.

Hi everyone,

I would like to share my experience with Sony RX0 which is a fantastic camera for surveying.

SonyRX0 zero is a small size, a shockproof digital camera with 25 mm wide angle (equivalent to 35mm)

It is only 110 gram with battery. Quality, size, wight make it suitable for surveying applications on drones.

Sony RX0 has a manual mode to set all camera parameters manually to get sharp pictures 

to get sharp quality pictures you should consider to set few parameters correctly:

Shutter speed: to remove blur from photo shutter speed should be set for higher value. 1200–1600 is recommended. Higher the shutter speed reduce image quality.

ISO: lower the ISO higher image quality. ISO between 150–300 is recommended.

Focus: Recommended to set the focus manually on the ground before the flight. Direct camera to an object which is far, and slightly increase the focus, you will see on camera screen that image sharpness changes by changing the value. Set the image sharpness at highest.

White balance: recommended to set to auto.

Comparison with Google Maps

Dronee PLANE fully supports Sony RX0 camera and triggers the camera over onboard wifi.

Hi,

Since our last post we were very busy with addign some features to droneePLANE,  i want to share them with you.

droneePLANE  supports Sony's lates 1 inch sensor size , ultra small, shock proof  SonyRX0 camera,

Geofence feature added.

Emlid's  RTK GPS support added, it is plug and play , can be used on droneePLANE

2 years ago we decided to make a professional mapping &surveying drone and not just for surveyors also with easy API's to help developers/researchers to develop drone applications quickly. And we took 4 main priorities on DroneePLANE:

1.Super easy to operate

2.Safe

3.Easy to carry 

4.Affordable

With these main priorities after 2 years DroneePLANE was born. The Professional Mapping and Surveying Drone.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

DRONEE  API for Developers

Last time i introduced DroneePlotter which is completely free  in browser flight log analiser tool for Ardupilot and PX4 log files.

After many feebdacks we have added many features to DroneePlotter .

1.we added lz4 compression support for upload and download of the files.Lz4 compresses binary files around 50%, Which means you get x2 more upload/download speed. Binary files are served with 1year cached flag which means if you open multiple instances of the same url, the data files will be served from browser cache after the first download

2.mavgraph.xml support you can click enable or drag and drop xml file which will be stored in browser cache.

3.FFT graph of ISBH frames for vibration measurement

5.GPS randomisign.Before uploading the binary file now you can randomize gps trajectory origin. Which will take the flight start to a random gps coordinate on the Earth.

Your feedbcaks, reviews are very wellcome.

We are happy to share DroneePlotter -  Drone Flight Log Analysis Tool  with drone comunity to make analyse and sharing easier.

DroneePlotter works on browser not (on server) Just drag and drop the log file . It parses binary log file inside browser instantly with Java scrip, and it works very fast . 

It generates flight graphs automatically , also you can  visualise specific flight data on graph and easily share with others, post on blogs, discussion forms.

To share your analyse with others you need to click UPLOAD button, it will generate unique link based on their md5
which means even another person uploads this file,server will generate the same url.

I hope it will make life easier, and your feebacks ,reviews are very welcome.)

Thanks to RaspberryPi community it has realy reach sources to start to work on a project.)   As we have 8Mp camera for RaspberryPi why not to stream video from drone to Mission planner via Wifi, it is low cost and you just need to plug into USB port on DroneePilot. 

I found many posts about Wifi video streaming from RPi to Mission Planner  all requires to start camera on RPI each time and ned to conenct to shell and write a script to start camera. I decided to make easier , to start camera automatically on boot, and you don not need to start camera each time.

You can find more detail about this project from our Dronee Blog

All-in-one Autopilot with RaspberryPi Compute Module 3.

We want to bring Pixhawk and Raspberry Pi developer community together to move drone technology to next level.

Droneepilot comes with built in all the necessary sensors/modules to build a drone .

GPS, Next Gen Airspeed sensor, Microhard Telemetry module, RaspberryPi Compute Module 3 and many many pheriperials for developers.

We developed Droneepilot to remove hardware hassle, people can easly build drone and connect to on-board RaspberryPi to start to write code directly on ready-to-use system.
