Drone Blocks


Intro to Tello Drone Programming

Coding:

Coding for this drone will start with takeoff, yaw right or left, and land. the altitude will be around 4-5 feet. The commands should be in sequential logic, which is where each block is executed in a specific order. 

A Box Mission:

takeoff-repeat 4 [fly forward- yaw right] *yaw=turn *fly= actually moves

Loop and Flip:

takeoff- repeat 5 [flip forward-flip backward-flip left- flip right]- land

Variables For The Win:

takeoff- repeat 2 [fly forward 12 - yaw right 180]- repeat 2 [fly forward 24- yaw right 180]- repeat 2 [fly forward 36- yaw right 180]- repeat 2 [fly forward 48 - yaw right 180] repeat 2 [fly forward 60- yaw right 180]- land

Adding Logic With If/Else Statements:

takeoff- repeat 2[fly forward-fly right- fly forward-fly left]- yaw right- fly forward - land

Land in Your Hand:

Takeoff- fly up 24 in - hover for 10 sec - land

Tello & Arts: Dance
Start off with take off - fly up - yaw right - fly up - land. 

  • Power on Tello and place on a flat, open-area surface (indoors)
  • Double tap your home button and go to Settings > Wifi
  • Tap on the Tello, which will create a hotspot that will look similar to: Tello-XXXXXX
  • Double tap your home button and return to DroneBlocks
  • Click "Connect To Tello"
  • Now that you are ready to execute your mission click the hamburger icon (the blue icon with three lines.)
  • Click "Launch Mission."
100bmp: take off - fly up - fly forward - flip forward - flip backward - fly right - fly left - land
programming to music: take off- set speed to 30 - fly up - flip forward - hover 2 sec - fly left - fly right - hover 3 sec- land. 



  • What coded flight script did you create from which tutorial?

  • How can you teach students about the coding scripts involved?

  • How can you facilitate the edition of code to provide quick coding experiences for students and family members?



The coded flight script I created was from the the dance tutorial.
I can teach students about the coding scripts involved by showing them a step-by-step process of what they can do to have the drone work correctly. I would also teach it at their pace so they would not get overwhelmed by coding, so they could hopefully learn to enjoy and have fun with learning coding.
I can facilitate the edition of coding to provide quick coding experiences for students and family members by finding simple online resources for coding to help the students and families get that hands-on experience.

    Hi Jacqueline, I really enjoyed your blog and the simulation that you chose to do. I like the fact that you put notes about the coding that you did for each mission. It looks so neat how the drone is able to become a square in the sky. Do you know what standards you are thinking about picking with the practice that you got from these simulations? Good job with the Tello & arts: dance curriculum. Was it hard for you to do that one and did you have to download an app to be able to do that one?

Snail WeDo2.0

 WeDo2.0 Lab 9/5/23 Glowing Snail   This lab activity mixes Legos and coding. My partner and I had the opportunity to have the glowing snail lab activity. For this lab it is based for first or second grade. The purpose of this lab is for students to create the snail using legos, connecting the snail to the app, then learn coding to have the snail flash different colored lights in different orders using an app. This activity should take about fifteen minutes for the students to complete.  The link for this activity is here:  https://education.lego.com/en-us/lessons/wedo-2-mini-lessons/glowing-snail/  5.1.d Develop resilience and perseverance when approaching CS and CT learning experiences, build comfort with ambiguity and open-ended problems, and see failure as an opportunity to learn and innovate.
