For FlytBase Auto users, the drone will be added to the FlytBase dashboard after successful registration of the docking station through the section in the Add Device menu.
While manually registering the docking station, the operator must add the device to the dashboard using the steps mentioned below once the drone has been registered on the edge device.
To add drones to their Dashboard, operators need to navigate to the Drones section under Operations in the navigation drawer and click on the icon to open the devices dialog box.
Select the desired drone from the list and click add. The drone will then be added to the drones section on the dashboard.
If the drone is not listed, add it manually to the FlytBase Dashboard.
To manually add a drone, the operator will require to provide the Vehicle ID of the drone and their Personal Access Token.
Click on Add Manually, on the FlytBase dashboard and enter any desired name for the drone. Use the previously obtained Vehicle ID and the Personal Access Token to add the drone to FlytBase Dashboard.
Now that the drone is added, the operator can view the live telemetry and video feed on the Dashboard. Also, they can control the drone remotely and execute missions.
In the Drones tab, click on the drone from the list. An operator can then access the live telemetry, video feed, connection status, and other drone vitals on the screen. To get detailed telemetry, expand the drone card.
The vehicle ID of a drone can be obtained from the FlytBase account (my.flytbase.com). Here's a quick to navigate.
Navigate to the tab in the FlytBase account and copy the Personal Access Token.
