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.

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/support.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS
ENGLISH
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
MCPKG01097A_QSG_CHIMERA.indd 15
15
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.

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.

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.
You can create two types of flight plan for Parrot Bluegrass:
Grid: the drone performs a grid flight of the defined area
according to the itinerary displayed on the screen.
Polygon:the drone performs a grid flight of the area
