MEASURING HEIGHT (PLUTO BLOCKS) (20 mins)
Program the drone to print the current altitude on the screen. This will be used to measure the altitude of any object or height of a person. Drone can either be piloted or simply lifted without arming to measure the height.
Students can have a game where they guess their own heights and then guess others’ heights. Drone can be used to measure the height and the closest guess would be the winner. The game can be extended to guessing the height of an object, and drone would be used to measure the height.
COLOR WHEEL (PLUTO BLOCKS) (20 mins)
You must have seen the colour wheel showing different primary colors combining to form secondary colors. With this project, you will turn your Pluto into a color wheel and visually see how the primary colors blend in to produce a secondary color!
The Primus V4/Primus X Flight Controller contains three LEDs – Red, Green and Blue. These primary colors can be combined to form different secondary colors. At a given time, if two LEDs are turned ON, they will combine to produce a secondary color.
If you condition the LEDs to turn ON depending on the current angle of yaw of the drone, you will be able to use your Pluto as a color wheel. Refer the below image and start coding!
