Mission Planner Drone Simulation with Geofencing | Analyze Logs & Export to Excel | How to create plan and simulate drone in Mission Planner

🚀 Welcome to this in-depth Mission Planner tutorial!
In this video, we demonstrate a realistic drone simulation using Mission Planner with exclusive geofencing around a water body, simulating a breach and triggering an automatic Return to Launch (RTL). Ideal for UAV enthusiasts, students, and drone operators, this tutorial shows how to simulate flight, analyze data, and export logs to Microsoft Excel for further analysis.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

How to set up a simulated drone mission in Mission Planner

Configure exclusive geofencing around obstacles (e.g., a water body)

Simulate a fence breach and observe RTL behavior

Perform log file analysis in Mission Planner

Export data to Excel (.csv) format for reporting or debugging

📍 Real-world use case: This simulation mimics a drone flying near a farm where a water body must be avoided — perfect for safety-critical missions in agriculture and inspection tasks.

🛠️ Tools Used:

Mission Planner with SITL (Software-in-the-Loop)

Geofence configuration

DataFlash log viewer

Microsoft Excel
