Hyper-Enabled Drone Operator

This project serves as a proof-of-concept system to fly a Skydio drone using a set of Forte Data-Gloves from Bebop Sensors, and receive haptic feedback through the gloves. Several test scripts for the data-gloves are also included to make development easier.

Installation

Use pip package manager to install the dataglove Python library, as well as any other libraries you might be missing.

pip install dataglove

Run

1. Conect to the Skydio Drone via WiFi (192.168.10.1).
2. Make sure to turn on Bluetooth on your computer, and turn on the data-gloves but DO NOT pair them to your device (this will interfere with the connection process).
3. Run HEDO.py (make sure to follow the calibration procedure upon boot-up to ensure proper function).
