DroneKit is a software development kit (SDK) that enables developers to create applications for drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is an open-source platform that is built on top of the popular MAVLink protocol, which is used to communicate with a variety of UAVs. With DroneKit, developers can easily create applications that can control and monitor UAVs, as well as access sensor data and perform other tasks.

In this article, we will provide a step-by-step guide for installing and using DroneKit.

Step 1: Install Python

The first step to using DroneKit is to install Python on your computer. Python is a programming language that is widely used for building applications for a variety of platforms, including UAVs. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/).

Step 2: Install pip

pip is a package manager for Python that enables you to easily install and manage Python libraries and packages. To install pip, open a terminal window and run the following command:

python -m ensurepip --upgrade

Step 3: Install DroneKit

Once you have installed Python and pip, you can use pip to install DroneKit. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following command:

pip install dronekit

This will install the DroneKit Python library on your computer.

Step 4: Establish a Connection to the UAV

The next step is to establish a connection to the UAV. This can be done using a variety of methods, such as a USB connection, a serial connection, or a network connection. Once the connection has been established, you can use the DroneKit API to send commands to the UAV and receive data from it.

Step 5: Use the DroneKit API

Once you have established a connection to the UAV, you can use the DroneKit API to control and monitor the UAV. The DroneKit API includes a variety of methods and functions that you can use to perform tasks such as arming and disarming the UAV, setting the mode of the UAV, and accessing sensor data.

To get started with the DroneKit API, you can refer to the documentation and examples provided on the DroneKit website (https://python.dronekit.io/).

In conclusion, DroneKit is a powerful and versatile platform that enables developers to create a wide range of applications for UAVs. By following the steps outlined in this guide, you can install and use DroneKit to build applications for drones and other UAVs.

He is an Author, Inventor, UAS Engineer, Blogger//Speaker and Entrepreneur. He has completed Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME). After the completion of the course, He shifted to Manila Aviation, Philippines to obtain the experience of Bell 407 Helicopter and Super King Air B200 aircraft. Also, accomplished accreditations in Human Factors, Aircraft Systems, Jet Engines, and Airframe, identified with wide-body aircraft, such as A320, A340, and B737. Later on, He joined a privately held UAV Company as a UAV Technical Engineer, where, during the exploration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, He transmuted his ‘Manned Aircraft’ knowledge into ‘Unmanned Aircraft’ and designed ‘India’s first Drone crash course study material’. Aside from Technical work, coordinated numerous workshops and training sessions to train the Engineering students regarding the Unmanned Aviation field as well as participated in the HALE/MALE sorts UAVs venture. Presently, He is working as a Director in a private UAV Manufacturing company (VAU Technovations LTD.). His recently formed UAV include VTOL UAV with Virtual Pilot and inventions comprise ‘Blended wing body flapless VTOL UAV, controlling with bleed air motion control system’ and more. As well as he authored a book, which comprises a detailed description related to all elements of the Unmanned Aircraft System. “Since, beginning He was very much interested in to produce something new, which never been done before to change the reality. The way, which drives this sort of deduction falls under the enterprising space, where somebody controls the entire Universal laws to reimage it by his own specific manner to make outlandishly conceivable.” By keeping an innovator mindset, after the completion of the course, He joined India based Start-Up company in the Drone sector. Where he got the undertaking to design ‘UAV Courses’ and the ‘Fledged Unmanned Device’ without any assistance. It becomes very hard to work, out of your prepared space. ‘Reimagination factor’ empowered him to plan ‘Practical UAV Courses’ as well as ‘Fledged Unmanned Device’ identified with numerous applications. During the working session, organized many training sessions and Signed MOUs with different colleges to train the engineering students in his own defined way. After that joined a couple of Start-Up companies (INDIA/South Africa) in a similar area as a Pioneer to deliver them ‘Initial Stage Boosting Strategies’ to cause them to survive in the market with limited resources. Parallelly, continues to contribute his own opportunity to tackle the genuine issues, which addressed by customers. Presently, working on, to be a Global competitor in the DRONE sector by manufacturing a completely indigenous Advanced Unmanned Aircraft System with Uniquely planned calculations. Awarded by many Engineering colleges for his work in DRONE Training Domain. In 2017, ‘Entrepreneur Magazine’ printed about his Business effort in DRONE Sector. In 2018, Nominated for ‘Visakhapatnam Manufacturing Leadership Award’. His invention sheaf comprises, ‘Blended Wing Body Flapless VTOL UAV, controlling with Bleed Air Motion Control System’, to solve out the Endurance related problem with the capability of carrying both Low-speed and High-speed operations at maximum stealth mode. ‘Unmanned Aircraft System for Under Bridge Bearings Inspection’ to solve out the inspection related problem of ‘Under Bridge Bearings’, The problem was addressed by one of the construction company. An extendable robotic arm with a camera is attached with the HUB of the air vehicle, which eases the ‘Bearings’ related inspections inside the ‘confined spaces’. ‘AI DRONE with Virtual Pilot’, Virtual pilot concept makes the controlling and troubleshooting of the air-vehicle easy. The purpose for to concoct the ‘Virtual Pilot’ is to ease the controlling and troubleshooting of the air-vehicle for the Non-Engineer operator. And the invention related to the defense sector comprises, ‘Lightning Strike System’, A MALE/HALE UAV payload system that channelizes the ionized plasma through MV channels to neutralize the targets. Additionally, Related to the Agriculture sector, the commercially launched ‘AGRORECK’ series ‘Pesticide spraying’ and ‘Multi-spectral imaging DRONES’ to solve the AGRO-related problems.
