#CodeAIR to Fly

codeAir-top-1050x750.png

https://firialabs.com/collections/codeair™

  • Weight: 55g
  • Size (WxHxD): 130x130x35mm
  • USB-C programming / onboard LiPo charger

  • Dedicated multi-core application CPU / AI accelerator

  • Camera – color CMOS UXGA (1632x1232) image sensor (OV2640)

  • 3 axis accelerometer / gyroscope (BMI088)
  • High precision barometric altimeter (BMP390)

  • 3 axis magnetometer (QMC5883)

  • Up / Down / Front laser range sensors (VL53L1CX)
  • Optical ground-tracking flow sensor (PMW3901)

  • Hardware expansion port: QWIIC

  • Flight data recorder has 8 GB capacity.
  • Activate speaker onboard (to announce)
  • AI accelerator runs TensorFlow Lite



Hold the CodeAIR by its prop guard.

To avoid damaging its sensitive components, before handling the CodeAIR, touch grounded metal (desk, doorknob) to discharge static.

Avoid touching the electronic parts.

CodeAIR has a camera - but it’s not an FPV (First Person View) drone.

CodeAIR Programming

  1. Switch to the “CodeSpace Development Environment” tab.

  2. Load program file from labs-demos:

    https://resources.firialabs.com/curricula/codex-cross-curricular/lift-off-with-codex

CodeAIR Flight

  1. Insert the battery (a Lithium Polymer single cell (1S) pack) within the landing sled (cage).

  2. Connect the white battery connectors according to the tab to show which side is polarized. So it only fits one way. The blue LED shine when powered up. Bend the retaining tabs slightly downward to allow the battery to slide out.

  3. Connect the USB cable between your CodeAIR and your computer.

    The cable that comes with CodeAIR is USB-A on older PCs, so you may need a USB-B to USB-C adapter.

  4. Turn ON the CodeAIR by sliding the power switch to on.

  5. Check the connection bar in the bottom left corner.

  6. Hit RUN.
  7. Unplug the USB cable from CodeAIR.
  8. Place CodeAIR on the ground (or flying surface).
  9. Arm CodeAIR by pressing B0, the button closest to the front of the drone.
  10. Perform the mission by pressing B1, the button closest to the power switch.

Setup CodeX

  1. plug your CodeX in to the USB port of a computer that it shows up as a mass-storage device, like a flash drive.

NOTE: By default the USB-accessible filesystem is read-only, so a PC can’t for example copy new Python files onto the CodeX, or edit existing ones. But if you want to do such things, there’s a way to change it so the filesystem can be written to “like a flash drive”. Note that while it’s in this mode your Python code (and CodeSpace) will see the filesystem as read-only. You can’t have it writable from both directions.

To make the filesystem writable as a USB mass-storage device (until the next reset of CodeX) manually perform this bootup key-combination:

  1. Press and hold buttons A and L and keep holding them down…
  2. Briefly press the RESET button next to the BATT switch.
  3. Keep holding buttons A and L until you see the red LEDs light up from 0 to 3 in right-to-left order. You will see a double-flash of ALL red LEDs to confirm the filesystem is in USB-writable mode.
