Drone Developer Workshop

Room: Colomba 2
Excise Walk, IFSC
Dublin 1
Dublin, Ireland

This ​half-day ​Dronecode ​workshop ​will ​allow ​participants ​to “get ​their ​hands ​dirty” ​on ​the ​Dronecode ​technology ​stack. ​The workshop ​will ​cover ​tool ​chain ​setup ​(a ​VM​/​docker ​image ​will ​be ​provided), ​running ​simulated ​flights ​all ​the ​way ​to moving ​an ​electric ​servo ​motor ​on ​real ​hardware. ​It ​will ​also show ​how ​to ​develop ​code ​on ​Linux ​which ​sends ​commands ​to the ​autopilot ​and ​will ​provide ​a ​glimpse ​into ​how ​all-in-one ​Linux ​board ​solutions ​will look ​like. The workshop is led by Lorenz Meier, PX4 project lead and Tully Foote, platform manger for Robotic Operating System (ROS), will introduce participants to ROS.

Participants ​only ​need ​basic ​C ​or ​Python ​knowledge ​and ​a ​laptop ​running ​a ​POSIX ​system ​with ​two ​USB ​ports. ​Owners ​of ​a ​gamepad ​will ​want ​to ​bring ​it ​along ​for ​some ​flight ​simulation ​fun, ​but ​it ​is ​not ​required. Please also ensure that your power supply can be used with Ireland’s UK-style mains (230v, 50Hz). Power conversion will not be available on-site, and your laptop will need to run for 3-4 hours.

Participants will need to bring their own UAVs, food and beverages will be provided.
