Ar.Drone Hacking and SDK 1.5

[Roberto Navoni]

 

Dear Friends,

this is my first hack to Ar.Drone. I'm enjoy with Ardrode SDK 1.5 , Build Linux Application for controll Ar.Drone.

• I change battery and use 3S Lipo 2200 ma instead of standard 1000 mah.
• Use my mac with VMWare with Ubuntu Linux 9.04 .
• Connect the drone by adhoc network.
• The Linux application use Ardrone SDK 1.5 .
• I use PS3 Gamepad for control the Drone.
• Recive realtime video by wifi from Ardrone.

I prefer to use it by PS3 Gamepad instead to use Iphone , the connection is very stable.

If you need more info about my hack contact me on skype virtualrobotix contact.

Regards

Roberto.

Do I need a dedicated charger? Or I can use the Parrot?

Hi Marco I use normal RC Lipo : 2200 Mah you can buy it in a RC shop online or in your city .

If you use a standard lipo 2200 Mah 3S you can fly for 20 minutes
