integration Guide
HARDWARE
SET UP THE SENSORS
POWER SUPPLY
Whether it is supplied by the drone or an external power bank, the power supply shall comply
Parrot Sequoia’s specifications.
• Voltage:
Minimal threshold 5V
Maximal threshold 6V
• Current:
Minimal threshold 2.4 A
Optimal recommendation 3A
• Power:
Minimal threshold 12W
Optimal recommendation 15W
POSITIONING
For an optimal use, the two sensors have to be positioned according to these instructions:
USB CABLES
It is recommended to use only the cables provided with the Parrot Sequoia sensor.
If you want to use dierent cables, please refer to the Parrot Sequoia USB document.
HIGH RESOLUTION RGB CAMERA
In addition to its 4 spectral bands, Parrot Sequoia carries a 16Mpx RGB camera. The RGB camera
should be used to get an overview of the field in true colors.
The Sunshine sensor has to be integrated on the top of
the drone with a clear hemispheric view above it. It has
to be perfectly horizontal, aligned with the drone.
The main body has to be integrated under the drone,
facing toward the ground.
It has to be horizontal but can be held in any x-axis
direction.
Both sensors have to be firmly held to limit
vibrations during the flight. Their holding has
to be consolidated. Their movement must
be in unison, the change in one’s orientation
must be reflected in the other such that the
angle between their planes remains constant.
PS: Stabilized gimbals are not recommended
