required for it to fly and each part has its functionalityand usefulness. Starting with the ESC (Electronic Speed Controller), it does two important thingsfor the drone. First it converts the battery voltage down to 5V, using which the receiver runs.Second, it converts the DC power from the battery to an AC current, which is required by themotor9.The Turnigy 9X is a radio channel dedicated to 2.4 GHz 8-channels and is manufacturedby Flysky as the FS-TH9X. This has the remote control and the transmitter. When programmingboth, one can send by the transmitter the correct information to the remote control and see itflying.The DJI Naza-M V2 is a powerful flight controller for enthusiast, commercial and industrialflyers. It is easy to install, simple to

desiredresource. Access is controlled by either shutting off AC line power to the resources through theuse of a solid state relay or using a small mechanical relay to connect to the equipment interlock(if available). The Raspberry Pi II both checks whether or not a maker is authorized by readingthe maker’s RFID card (UID) and references the database as to whether the scanned UID isauthorized for the resource attempting to be accessed. If the maker is authorized, power to theresource will flow through the SSR, allowing access to the resource. The system has beendesigned with a card slot since the RFID card must remain on the scanner in order for theresource to remain operable. If the UID were to be removed, intentionally or accidentally, thereis a period
