Control A Drone With Paper.. Not An RC Controller

In this video, Pankaj shows you how to control a drone with python-dronekit scripts from a GROUND based Pi. That's right, the drone doesn't even have an onboard Raspberry Pi.
Instead, the Pi is running on the ground, and beams the dronekit commands over a telemetry module link it has with the airborne drone.
As an example of how you can control the drone from a ground based Pi, Pankaj assigns movement commands to various unique Aruco Markers. The ground based Pi has a PiCam that detects the arucos, finds the associated movement command, and sends the MAVLink command to the drone.
For example, aruco 41 might be "arm and takeoff", and aruco 385 may be "move the drone to the left."
