"Building the System Andrei continues his two-part article series about his CovidTestDrone project—a drone delivery system that allows individuals to receive a self-administered lower nasal swab COVID-19 test at home via a drone and then return the sample to the lab via the same drone after administering the swab. In Part 2, he describes the construction steps, the code architecture and the dashboard development. Topics Discussed How to build a COVID-19 test drone delivery systemHow the application worksUnderstanding the range and flight modesHow the backend connectivity worksHow to set up the Nav-Q onboard computer How to set up the IoT Central backendHow to construct the droneHow to construct the COVID test containerHow to construct the NAV-Q Tech Used NXP’s XP HoverGames drone kitRDDRONE-FMUK66 FMUPX4, open-source firmwareQGroundControlMavLink protocolArduino MKR GSM 1400Microsoft Azure IoT Central Nav-Q Computer from EMCraftGStreamer application To review from Part 1 (Circuit Cellar 372, July 2021), my CovidTestDrone project enables self-administered COVID-19 tests to be delivered within minutes to patients’ homes via drone delivery and returned to the lab to be analyzed (Figure 1). There is no need for patients to leave their homes nor get into contact with other individuals to get tested. Tests can be provided on-demand—no waiting for a doctor to check your symptoms in person. The system provides testing that is precise, non-invasive, and user friendly. In Part 2, we’ll dive into the application in depth, and look at all the steps required to build the complete CovidTestDrone system." (Extrait de Circuit Cellar n°374)
