Hi, Roberto Navoni,
    I have just joined the visualrobotix. I do all the compile according to the developer manual from parrot but it doesn't work. Now I just want to get a correct Linux Example for firmware 1.4.6 and I can learn from. My ability is just to know the basic grammar of C. I want to learn the Linux programming using ardrone. Hope you help and suggestion.

  • Dear Friends,

    a little update on my hacking on parrot :) I compile my first code on it.

    the simple c source code hello2.c and exe file hello_parrot

    connect your parrot by ftp

    >ftp 192.168.1.1

    ....after connect

    >send hello_parrot

    then connect ardrone by telnet 192.168.1.1

    then going inside data directory

    and execute ./hello_parrot

    you can found my message for you :)

    Regards

    Roberto

    hello2.c

    parrot_hello

    Best Regards
    • Dear Friends,

      today i succesfully compile and put my first code on Ar.Drone.

      The cpu is an arm9 I compile the code using gcc arm toolchain send the file by ftp on ar.drone and execute using telnet ... The application work fine ... :) Now I identify the serial port available on parrot so  i can connect multipilot board directly to serial interface.

      Regards Roberto

  • Remember to install the basic library using this command :

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev libgtk2.0-dev libiw-dev

     

    After the install of library is possible to launch the Ardrone SDK application

          Glad to join FOXTEAM. I have trouble to download the  ARDrone_SDK_1_5_Version_20101004.zip, 47.9 MB. It seems the files are broken. I don't know if it is the problem of my internet. I will try to download it later... 

  • Hi Yingcai ,

    so I'm working on two revision of SDK the first one is the standard , download from officialy parrot site the other is C# revision of sdk.

    In standard revision I used a linux Example Navigation and change the protocol library add the support of video tag  now is on other pc but today i upload this revision for you on our repository.

    in Italy is GMT + 1 now .

    The other possibility without upgrade protocol is to downgrade the firmware on parrot using iphone application that support this feature . and use oldest version of code.

    In c# revision i doing downgrade.

    I'm using PS3 Gamepad and it work fine .

     

    This is the video of my first flight ...

     

    Before to test the application check that your network connection work fine. Are you connect the Network ? You don't use nat but host the second option in network configuration .

    Try to ping your ArDrone using ping 192.168.1.1 if it reply now you are ready to test navigation software.
