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 17 10/31/2017 3:16:19 PM DOWNLOADING THE APPS Connect to App Store® or Google PlayTM and download the free Pix4Dcapture and FreeFlight Pro apps.

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. If no SD card is detected, Sequoia automatically saves the shots in its internal memory of the multispectral sensor. 24
MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 25 10/31/2017 3:16:23 PM CREATING A FLIGHT PLAN It is recommended to create a flight plan on Pix4Dcapture before arriving at the flight site. > At the first launch of the Pix4Dcapture app, choose the Parrot Bluegrass from the list of drones, and then proceed to editing the flight plan.
