INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing Sequoia, the sensor specifically for precision
farming. Sequoia is one of the lightest sensors on the market. It
provides extremely accurate images:
• 16 Mpx RGB sensor: photos of your crops using visible wavelength.
• Four narrow band and synchronised 1.2 Mpx monochrome sensors
(Green, Red, Red Edge and Near Infrared)
• An automatically calibrated camera thanks to the sunshine module
Sequoia also has:
• A sensor weighing 72 grams which is suitable for all types of drones
• A removable protective lens
• Integrated GPS/GNSS to locate the camera when photos are being
taken
• 64GB internal memory, corresponding to 10 flights
• An SD card slot

You can set up Sequoia using either flight planning software (such as
Pix4Dmapper Capture or eMotion from SenseFly for example), or Wi-Fi via
an HTML interface. Your set up data will be saved in the Sequoia memory.

Setting up Sequoia via Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is enabled on Sequoia as the default option. Press four times on
the multispectral sensor button to enable/disable Wi-Fi on Sequoia.
Subsequently, Sequoia keeps the last Wi-Fi set up in its memory, when it
is switched on or off.
You can set up Sequoia from a computer, smartphone or tablet:
1
1. Connect the multispectral sensor USB device port to a drone or a
USB battery.
> Sequoia turns on automatically.
2. Make sure that the Wi-Fi appears in the list of available Wi-Fi. If not,
press four times on the multispectral sensor button.
3. Connect to the Wi-Fi network: Sequoia_XXXX.
4. Open your internet browser
5. Type the following address in your browser's address bar: 192.168.47.1
> The HTML interface for setting up Sequoia opens. You can set up
Sequoia.
Before each flight with Sequoia, make the following checks:
• Make sure that the lenses are clean. Use the microfibre cloth (supplied)
to clean them.
• Free up enough memory (either in the multispectral sensor internal
memory, or on your SD card) so you can save all the photos taken
during the flight.
• Make sure that the two modules are properly attached to the drone
and that they are not likely to come off during the flight.
• Make sure that the micro USB device cable which connects the drone
to the multispectral sensor is connected.
• Make sure that the two sensors are calibrated. For more information,
see the Calibrating Sequoia section.
• Wait until the sunshine sensor indicator light is green. When it is green
this means that the GPS/GNSS is enabled.
