# Drone

For FlytBase Auto users, the drone will be added to the FlytBase dashboard after successful registration of the docking station through the [<mark style="color:blue;">**Setup DiaB**</mark>](/diab-setup.md) 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.

## Adding a drone

To add drones to their Dashboard, operators need to navigate to the **Drones** section under **Operations** in the navigation drawer and click on the ![](/files/Yc8BTYyP1z6N8gmZiyOF)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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Drones that are already linked with the account will be shown in that list.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
If the drone is not listed, add it manually to the FlytBase Dashboard.
{% endhint %}

### Manually adding the drones

To manually add a drone, the operator will require to provide the **Vehicle ID** of the drone and their **Personal Access Token.**

* The **vehicle ID** of a drone can be obtained from the FlytBase account (my.flytbase.com). Here's a quick [<mark style="color:blue;">link</mark>](https://my.flytbase.com/accounts/login/?next=/devices/) to navigate.
* Navigate to the[ <mark style="color:blue;">Developer Settings</mark>](https://my.flytbase.com/developer/token/) tab in the FlytBase account and copy the **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.

## Drone telemetry

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.
