Get started
Hands-on lessons that walk you through the Istari Digital Platform step by step. Each track matches a role: Connect, Build and Share for the web app, Automate for the Python client, Administer for tenant setup, and Extend for custom modules.
Guided demos are short, interactive product recordings you can follow at your own pace. Sample files, including the Lab Quadcopter, are under Models.
For conceptual background before you begin, see Key Concepts.
Sample files
Download this archive when a training exercise needs vendor-neutral examples. It is a Courier drone: a 3D model, drawings, a spec sheet, mission notes, a range calculator, flight-test results, and a parts list, in open formats (glTF, SVG, PDF, Markdown, HTML, XML, and JSON), plus the part packages the drone is built from.
