Abstract
Den overordnede hensigt med denne rapport er at dokumentere designet og implementeringen af et Track-and-Follow system på en drone med en Cube Orange+ flight controller. Kernefunktionaliteten indebærer at modtage GNSS-signaler fra en ekstern enhed og overføre dem til flight controlleren via en ESP32, så dronen kan styres mod den opnåede position. Dronen er udstyret med en indbygget ESP32, der håndterer indkomne beskeder fra den eksterne ESP32 og analyserer dataene via MAVLink-protokollen til flight controlleren. Rapporten behandler emner som NMEA-kommunikationsprotokoller, ArduPilot open-source-kodning og implementering af testresultater i simulation, inden systemets ydeevne evalueres.
The general purpose of this report is to document the design and implementation of a track-and-follow system on a drone with a Cube Orange+ flight controller. The core functionality involves obtaining GNSS signals from an external module and ESP32 transmitting them to the flight controller guiding the drone toward the obtained location. The drone is equipped with an onboard ESP32, handling incoming messages from the external ESP32 and parsing the data via MAVLink protocol to the flight controller. The report delves into topics such as NMEA communication protocols, ArduPilot open-source coding, and implementation of test results in simulation, before evaluating the system's performance.
