Drone Flight Plan Generator for FLYLITCHI

Prerequisites

Python 2.7
Numpy 1.14.0

Installation

pip install dplan

Website: https://flylitchi.com/hub

How to get the coordinates of the field?

1. Go to https://flylitchi.com/hub and search for your target location.

       

2. Click the map to generate a point and extract the coordinates from the panel.

          

Input requirement for the drone flight plan

Four corners of the field (latitude and longitude)

       corner 1 = 14.168092, 121.255055
       corner 2 = 14.168402, 121.255369
       corner 3 = 14.167741, 121.256036
       corner 4 = 14.167434, 121.255701

       

       Horizontal partition (x) and vertical partition (y)        In this example x = 4 and y = 3

       

NOTE: Create drone folder in your root directory for the output

Implementation of API

Import dplan library

from dplan import Flight
from dplan import Order

Initialize flight

flight = Flight()

Set four corners of the field

flight.setCorners(corner1 = (14.168092, 121.255055), corner2 = (14.168402, 121.255369), corner3 = (14.167741, 121.256036), corner4 = (14.167434, 121.255701))

Set partition of x and y

flight.setPartition(x=4, y=3)
unique_coordinates = fl.calculateDistance()

Result

To view the default flight plan result, import the litchi.csv from the drone folder to https://flylitchi.com/hub

             

Default flight plan result

       

Customize flight plan

Initialize order

order = Order()

Select point numbers in which order you prefer

This a sample order of points

list_order = [14,9,4,1,2,6,11,16,18,13,8,3,5,10,15,19,20,17,12,7]
order.setPointOrder(unique_coordinates, list_order)
order.start()

Result

To view the customized flight plan result, import the litchi_order.csv from the drone folder to https://flylitchi.com/hub
