Perseverance & Ingenuity – Control a Tello drone with TI-Innovator
Year 2021 – NASA brings a rover and a drone to Mars, for the first time ever. What would be more exciting than to bring this technological challenge to the STEM classroom?

Let the students figure out how to maneuver the TI-Rover (aka Perseverance) with the Tello (aka Ingenuity) Drone onboard thru a parcours to a place where Ingenuity should take-off, hover, fly over areas impossible to reach with Rover and return to a place where it is safe to land. NASA’s Mars mission has inspired me to create Python and Arduino code for the TI-Innovator system to model a rover-drone interaction controlled by a Nspire CX handheld or a Nspire desktop along with a TI-Hub, an ESP8266 NodeMCU and a Tello or Tello EDU drone.
