# DroneController Guide
Implement your GPS-denied landing algorithm in `drone_controller.py`.
## Quick Start
1. Edit `drone_controller.py`
2. Find `calculate_landing_maneuver()`
3. Implement your algorithm
4. Test: `python standalone_simulation.py`
## Sensors Available
| Sensor | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| IMU | Orientation, angular velocity |
| Altimeter | Altitude, vertical velocity |
| Velocity | Estimated velocity (x, y, z) |
| Camera | 320x240 downward image |
| Landing Pad | Relative position (may be null!) |
## Function to Implement
```python
def calculate_landing_maneuver(self, telemetry, rover_telemetry):
# Your code here
return (thrust, pitch, roll, yaw)
```
## Sensor Data
```python
# Altitude
altitude = telemetry['altimeter']['altitude']
vertical_vel = telemetry['altimeter']['vertical_velocity']
# Velocity
vel_x = telemetry['velocity']['x']
vel_y = telemetry['velocity']['y']
# Landing Pad (may be None!)
landing_pad = telemetry.get('landing_pad')
if landing_pad:
relative_x = landing_pad['relative_x']
relative_y = landing_pad['relative_y']
```
## Control Output
| Value | Range | Effect |
|-------|-------|--------|
| thrust | ±1.0 | Up/down |
| pitch | ±0.5 | Forward/back |
| roll | ±0.5 | Left/right |
| yaw | ±0.5 | Rotation |
## Example Algorithm
```python
def calculate_landing_maneuver(self, telemetry, rover_telemetry):
altimeter = telemetry.get('altimeter', {})
altitude = altimeter.get('altitude', 5.0)
vertical_vel = altimeter.get('vertical_velocity', 0.0)
velocity = telemetry.get('velocity', {})
vel_x = velocity.get('x', 0.0)
vel_y = velocity.get('y', 0.0)
landing_pad = telemetry.get('landing_pad')
# Altitude control
thrust = 0.5 * (0 - altitude) - 0.3 * vertical_vel
# Horizontal control
if landing_pad:
pitch = 0.3 * landing_pad['relative_x'] - 0.2 * vel_x
roll = 0.3 * landing_pad['relative_y'] - 0.2 * vel_y
else:
pitch = -0.2 * vel_x
roll = -0.2 * vel_y
return (thrust, pitch, roll, 0.0)
```
## Using the Camera
```python
import cv2
import numpy as np
import base64
camera = telemetry.get('camera', {})
image_b64 = camera.get('image')
if image_b64:
image_bytes = base64.b64decode(image_b64)
nparr = np.frombuffer(image_bytes, np.uint8)
image = cv2.imdecode(nparr, cv2.IMREAD_COLOR)
# Process image...
```
## Testing
```bash
# Easy - stationary
python standalone_simulation.py --pattern stationary
# Medium - circular
python standalone_simulation.py --pattern circular --speed 0.3
# Hard - random
python standalone_simulation.py --pattern random --speed 0.5
```
## Configuration
Edit `config.py`:
```python
CONTROLLER = {
"Kp_z": 0.5, # Altitude proportional
"Kd_z": 0.3, # Altitude derivative
"Kp_xy": 0.3, # Horizontal proportional
"Kd_xy": 0.2, # Horizontal derivative
}
```
