MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 10 10/31/2017 3:16:16 PM    SEQUOIA PRESENTATION Sequoia  is  made  up  of  a  multispectral  sensor  and  a sunshine irradiance integrated into Parrot Bluegrass. Sequoia is a multispectral sensor specifically  for farming. Its design was created according to three principal criteria: excellent precision,  minimal size and weight, optimal ease of use. The Sequoia sensor is designed to  be suitable for all types of drones, those with fixed wings and multi-rotors and  mounted  on  gimbals  or    not.    Its    use  allows  the capture of images of agricultural plots in several spectral bands measuring the  state of vegetation:  green (550 nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth), red (660 nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth), red-edge (735 nm wavelength, 10 nm bandwidth) and near InfraRed (790 nm wavelength, 40 nm bandwidth). The  photos  taken  can  then  be  analysed  using  various software. They can be used to make indexed maps (NDVI, NDRE,  etc.)  and  make  recommendations  regarding nitrogen fertilisation.           10

MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 14 10/31/2017 3:16:19 PM     SUNSHINE SENSOR The  sunshine  sensor  is  used  to  calibrate  the  images depending  on  the  sunlight.  This  makes  it  possible  to compare  photos  over  time,  despite  variations  in  light during shoots.  The sunshine  sensor is attached to  the upper part of the drone, facing the sky. During flights the sunshine sensor is powered by the multispectral sensor.  It is recommended to use the SD card provided with Sequoia.  Technical  performances  are  not guaranteed with other SD cards.Refer to the list  of compatible  SD  cards  on  www.parrot.com/sup- port. Ambient light sensors Indicator light: reference  for calibration         Position of the SD card  4 ambient light sensors. These sensors are fitted with band-pass  filters  identical  to  those  on  the  multispectral sensor.  Other sunshine sensor features: • Inertial measurement unit. • Magnetometer.   14  !
MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 15 10/31/2017 3:16:19 PM    PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS REGULATIONS • Parrot Bluegrass must be used strictly in compliance with current local regulations. The places where it is used must be suitable for manoeuvring in order to ensure the continuous safety of people, animals and property. • It may not be permitted to use Parrot Bluegrass in certain  public  places  (e.g.  train  stations,  airports, etc.) or on public roads. • The  pilot  must,  at  all  times,  maintain  visual  contact with Parrot Bluegrass and control its  trajectory. • Before  you  fly  your  Parrot  Bluegrass,  check  the restrictions regarding the use of Wi-Fi frequencies in the  place  where  you  are  going  to  fly  it.  Certain frequencies  may  be  restricted  or  prohibited.  For instance,  in  some countries  the  use  of  the  5  GHz band for your Wi-Fi may be prohibited for outdoor locations.  FLIGHT CONDITIONS • Do not fly Parrot Bluegrass at night. • Check the weather conditions to ensure good flight and visual conditions. Do not use Parrot Bluegrass if it  is raining/snowing,  if  there is fog, or winds in excess of 8 meters per second or 30 km/hr. • Do not fly the drone over water. • Make sure you have at least 10 meters in diameter of clear space for your Parrot Bluegrass to take off and  15 ENGLISH
MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 16 10/31/2017 3:16:19 PM     land. Check that the flight area has no obstacle that might  interfere  with  flight  phases  or  prevent  visual contact. • Make  sure  the  flight  altitude  programmed  in Pix4Dcapture (entered in relation to take off point)  is sufficient to avoid obstacles in the surrounding area.  PARROT BLUEGRASS • Make sure that Parrot Bluegrass  has  detected  the GPS signal in FreeFlight Pro or Pix4Dcapture. • Make  sure  the  Parrot  Bluegrass  propellers  are properly mounted and secured. • Make sure the Parrot Bluegrass battery is charged. • Make sure you are in a wide, open space. • Make sure  that the selected geobarrier distance  is sufficient  for  the  execution  of  the  flight  plan  on Pix4Dcapture.  SEQUOIA • Make  sure  that  the  lenses  are  clean.  Use  the microfibre cloth (supplied) to clean them. • Free  up  enough  memory  (on  the  SD  card  or  in  the multispectral  sensor  internal  memory)  so  you  can save all the photos taken during the flight. • Make  sure  that  the  two  sensors  are  calibrated.  For more  information,  see  the  Calibrating  Sequoia section.    16

MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 22 10/31/2017 3:16:22 PM    CONNECT THE DRONE TO PARROT SKYCONTROLLER 2 1. Place Parrot Bluegrass on a flat  surface. 2. Turn on your Parrot  Bluegrass. 3. Press the Parrot Skycontroller 2 ON/OFF button to turn it on. 4. Wait patiently until the Parrot Skycontroller 2 indicator light is steady green. > You are connected to Parrot Bluegrass, advance to drone calibration and Wi-Fi® settings. > Warning the geobarrier on  FreeFlight Pro limits the distancing of the drone when this option is  activated: set a geobarrier distance slightly larger than the flight zone.  CALIBRATE THE DRONE It is recommended to calibrate the drone before each flight using the FreeFlight Pro app. If the app displays a window requesting drone calibration, follow the steps shown on the screen. You can also calibrate the drone manually: 1. Select Parrot Bluegrass in the Freeflight Pro app. 2. Press the Calibration button on the information page on the drone. 3. Follow the on-screen animation. > The animation disappears when calibration is com- pleted; you can then  start the flight plan on Pix4D- capture. 22
MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 23 10/31/2017 3:16:22 PM     WI-FI SETTINGS 1. Connect the drone using FreeFlight Pro. 2. Select Fly & Film. 3. Tap the Settings button. 4. Selection Country and press the Exterior button.  The settings are complete. It will be unnecessary to repeat this step.  CALIBRATING SEQUOIA Calibration of the magnetometer   The multispectral sensor flashes purple when a calibration is required. 1. Turn  the  drone  on  the  Z  axis  (yaw  -  green  on  the scheme)  until  the  multispectral  sensor  indicator  light flashes green. 2. Turn the drone on the Y axis (pitch - red on the scheme) until  the  multispectral  sensor  indicator  light  flashes blue. 3. Turn the drone on the X axis (roll - blue on the  scheme) until  the  multispectral  sensor  indicator  light  changes colour. > NB: Once the calibration is complete  the  colour  of the multispectral  sensor  light  varies  depending  on Sequoia's  status.  For  example,  if  the  multispectral sensor  memory  is  full,  the  indicator  light  will  flash yellow.  23 ENGLISH
MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 24 10/31/2017 3:16:23 PM                USE THE INTERNAL SEQUOIA MEMORY If Sequoia detects an SD card, the shots are saved on this SD card.
