I'm very surprised there isn't already a compiled & finished version in Linux or windows for download. They have such a limited market without. I'm having a rough time getting all this together and trying to find the right controller to work completely with it. The one listed above must also have a special batch of work to get the Saitek to function.
I've downloaded the most recent SDK and fortunately have a friend that can guide me through Linux getting things rolling. I'm hoping to get my order in for the ARDrone 2.0 in the next week or so as it's due to be released shortly. Two questions as I get ready, will a PS3 controller work on this as is or does it have to be one as shown in the video? Logitech I believe? Second, the 2.0 changes and or new features will still work? Thank you in advance for any info!
I know the resolution is restricted, but can you some how maximise the window in "VISON Image" a bit more? Also can you please provide some more documentation please? It's all quite sparce and some of us who aren't coders are having some trouble. Lastly the BUILD_LINUX_EXAMPLES doesn't exist in the SDK1.5 version of config.makefile - Once again some decent documentation would be great. Nevertheless thanks for a great product! :)
Green Twig: I built it today on my ubuntu 10.04. If you download the linux SDK don't worry about the BUILD_Linux... It is already set to compile the linux one. I think the actual variable is now USE_LINUX. You have to login/register before download from ardrone.org For me it worked perfect right out of the box with a Saitek joystick.
Why does the Video RAW Footage have so much LAGGG ?????? At 2:15 the Drone goes to the left but almost dont see it untill it has moved like 1 1/2 to 2 Feet in the Video. Or is it just a Bad SYNC Job when you all made the Video ??? Can the Video Footage be recorded ?
Can this be setup to work with a remote system. So if I log into a system that is close enough to the the drone, Can I fly the camera around to check on things?
ok I got it allright (joystick thrustmaster detected, ar drone connected) but I cant start it, I tried all the control on the pad but nothing is working, is there a way to assign specific action to joystick button from ardrone api? thank you for helping a noob
@bobcntsa hello En effet , il faut 1 : lire l'ID du joystick avec la commande lsusb 2 : mettre cette valeur dans le fichier gamepad.c a la ligne # define , celle du padps3 3 : verifier que les boutons sont bien numérote dans le fichier gamepad.h pour voir les num des boutons , tu peux utiliser cette commande jstest /dev/input/js0 et tu appuie sur les manches et les boutons , il t'affiche les num C'est bien explique dans la doc API SDK1.5 Jacques
@jackpirot salut, egalement sur le dernier ubuntu j ai reussi (au bout d un moment) a installer les packets necessaire ainsi qu a compiler l api, j ai un joystick thrustmaster (top gun fox 2 pro usb) le drone est connecté (j ai le retour des info ainsi que la video) mais pas moyen de faire decoller ou quoi que ce soit au drone, y a t il une config special a faire pour la manette? merci
Hello i want to buy an A.R. Drone, but I have some question, I want to know if the drone have the option, "follow me", if is not the case if there are some restriction in developing and modifying the firmware version of the drone?
Ease of Setup??? Can someone give me some feedback on the ease of setup for everything in the linux environment. How easily can someone who has considerable computer experience but NO LINUX EXPERIENCE get this whole system up and running (after ubuntu has already been installed)? I want to use in a classroom environment at a robotics lab. Calling Parrot directly ended in their sales rep advising against using the linux to our purchasing staff. ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED.
I have a question... I have Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, I Download the SDK package, after i install all the packages (minute 0:11), I extract the files of the SDK, but i can't find the line "BUILD_LINUX_EXAMPLES=no" and i can't find the Launch AR.Drone NAvigation software (minute 0:37), any User that would like help me please!!! thanks!!!
i have ubuntu 14.04 lts for 64 bits and i can't find the line "BUILD_LINUX_EXAMPLES=no" , if one user can complete this tutorial say me please and tell me what is the caracteristics of your Os ubuntu and if Os ubuntu 14.04 LTS for 64 bits is compatible for this tutorial.
@dunemandave There are applications for Windows to control your AR.Drone which can do many more then this little thing. Windows AR.Drone, Windev AR.Drone, Windows AR.Drone .NET, AR.Drone playground, AR.Drone control simple, and many more...
I have a recent ubuntu 11.10 and I simply can not install those packages... dependecies and incompatibilities. :( I'll have to "joystick it" on windows :(
@bobcntsa - Google "ardrone flyers" (TH-cam doesn't like dashes in the link) then go to forum and look for "SDK Example Walkthrough" (zenocha's post) has info there on how to code your PS3 controller. I'm sure this you can carry over to your joystick. Good luck! :)
merci ca marche :) tout ce que j ai eu a faire c est de metre l id de la manette pour le device ps3 a la place de gamepad, par contre je ne trouve pas comment modifier l assignation des boutons, quelle fonction faut il trifouiller, le "button_radio_command_gp" ou autre ? desolé ms je n ai pas trop envie d essayer au hasard et de me cracher en consequence, en tout cas merci bien pour le coup de main :D
want to get this to work on a raspberry pi so i can walk aroudn with it in my pocket using a ps3 remote or similar, but im not good enough with linux to get this to work :./ errors

Hello , excuse me you have the ARDrone_SDK_2_0 folder yet? because I have visited the web site developer.parrot.com/ and I know that I download folder in Part SDK2, but the new folder is ARDrone_SDK_2_0_1 and in this folder do not contain the example for Linux " ardrone_navigation " and I need this file. if you have this file yet and you can send to me I will be very grateful to you. by the way apologize if I wrote bad the text the reason is that I am from mexico city and my language is Spanish, thankyou for read me.
@bobcntsa Oui j'ai inversé le h et le c !! Si tu utilise la fonction update_gamepad (qui correspond a ton gamepad donc pas updateps3pad) dans le fichier gamepad.h tu doit metre l'ID du joystick sur #define GAMEPAD_LOGITECH_ID 0x00000000 puis dans les structures (typedef enum) { ..}PAD_AXIS ; et { ...}PAD_BUTTONS; par exemple le num du bouton pour emergency tu le met PAD_START=1, et le decollage/atterrissage PAD_SELECT=2; Voila
@Tw1nOwnage8 Your removing your reactions really fast, don't forget them i can see them in my mailbox... Apple advertised at the beginning too, but not saying why you should take a Mac, but saying why you wouldn't take Windows. Ofcourse everyone takes Windows... And after 35 years, their still doing this commerce, very weird. I understand why people not want Linux, when you downloaded something like Firefox (webbrowser), you will loose 10 GB and 5 hours for all those extra things you need.
@sbkhaan1 Windows AR.Drone, Windev AR.Drone, Windows AR.Drone .NET, AR.Drone playground, AR.Drone control simple, and many more run under Windows... This is the only application for Linux, and is too simple and complicated. Linux sucks.
@Tw1nOwnage8 If Windows is a load of crap, why does every company except 1 which creates computers, installs Windows on it?... Why is Windows ruling the world? Beceause the rest is all CRAP! Just googled Kdenlive, camed on an "alternative for Kdenlive" website: Windows Movie Maker, Avidemux, Adobe Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro (With some nice plugins...), Pinnacle Studio, VideoStudio Pro, Cinefx, VLMC, Cyberlink PowerDirector, MAGIX Video Pro X, Lightworks, i have 50000 more you all want to hear them?
Thats sick,
do you know the range of the wifi on the AR drone? Is it pretty far?

@DogishK You can with AR.Drone playground, but it works ofcourse only under Windows :-)

Or is it just a Bad SYNC Job when you all made the Video ???

Kindly let me know the exact model of Joystick you are using, I want to sure it will work with Linux . Will a Saitek Cyborg V1 work?
Can this be setup to work with a remote system. So if I log into a system that is close enough to the the drone, Can I fly the camera around to check on things?
ok I got it allright (joystick thrustmaster detected, ar drone connected) but I cant start it, I tried all the control on the pad but nothing is working, is there a way to assign specific action to joystick button from ardrone api?
thank you for helping a noob
@ubudog32
It's the Saitek Cyborg X.
I've got one, really nice stick for a small price
Why does lamps are red? When drone is operational they are always green, aren't?
Do u have to get a certain joystick, or can it be any?
Windows version will be there soon. Nothing exists only for Mac or Linux.
@bobcntsa hello
En effet , il faut
1 : lire l'ID du joystick avec la commande lsusb
2 : mettre cette valeur dans le fichier gamepad.c a la ligne # define , celle du padps3
3 : verifier que les boutons sont bien numérote dans le fichier gamepad.h
pour voir les num des boutons , tu peux utiliser cette commande
jstest /dev/input/js0 et tu appuie sur les manches et les boutons , il t'affiche les num
C'est bien explique dans la doc API SDK1.5

@jackpirot salut, egalement sur le dernier ubuntu j ai reussi (au bout d un moment) a installer les packets necessaire ainsi qu a compiler l api,
j ai un joystick thrustmaster (top gun fox 2 pro usb) le drone est connecté (j ai le retour des info ainsi que la video) mais pas moyen de faire decoller ou quoi que ce soit au drone, y a t il une config special a faire pour la manette?
merci
Any idea on the range for the signal?

@videoman223 about 50meters depending on the wifi strengh
I have a recent ubuntu 11.10 and I simply can not install those packages... dependecies and incompatibilities. :( I'll have to "joystick it" on windows :(
Can you please tell me the links to the Pangaea I need to download, thanks. :-)
Can you control it with your keyboard?
@bobcntsa - Google "ardrone flyers" (TH-cam doesn't like dashes in the link) then go to forum and look for "SDK Example Walkthrough" (zenocha's post) has info there on how to code your PS3 controller. I'm sure this you can carry over to your joystick. Good luck! :)
@sbkhaan1 I have windows. y cant i use this. i would love to have this
did anyone every reply or did you figure it out?
wow! that's really cool, I just happen to have Saitec controller, I want to try what you've done
So not on mac?
Cool, but it needs a proper long range transmitter not wifi. It would be great if it had a 500 meter range or more.
Could perhaps one plug in an Xbox controller and use that? also does this work with the ARdrone 2.0?
Gotta love the mad catz fly stick 5 =D
merci ca marche :) tout ce que j ai eu a faire c est de metre l id de la manette pour le device ps3 a la place de gamepad, par contre je ne trouve pas comment modifier l assignation des boutons, quelle fonction faut il trifouiller, le "button_radio_command_gp" ou autre ? desolé ms je n ai pas trop envie d essayer au hasard et de me cracher en consequence,

Ca marche sur Windows ou pas??????????
want to get this to work on a raspberry pi so i can walk aroudn with it in my pocket using a ps3 remote or similar, but im not good enough with linux to get this to work :./ errors
il y a une version windows et android en beta sur le forum projects.ardrone.org
@jackpirot merci j avais pas vu la derniere reponse :)
ca marche sous windows??
I need this for windows please its to complicate with linux :(
i have ubuntu 14.04 lts for 64 bits and i can't find the line "BUILD_LINUX_EXAMPLES=no" , if one user can complete this tutorial say me please and tell me what is the caracteristics of your Os ubuntu and if Os ubuntu 14.04 LTS for 64 bits is compatible for this tutorial.

This song GODDAMNIT!

Super ,
J'ai fait tout ca sous ubuntu 10.10 et un gamepad TrustMarter
Ca marche !!!
@ARdrone Saitek Cyborg X to be precise
@bobcntsa
Oui j'ai inversé le h et le c !!
Si tu utilise la fonction update_gamepad (qui correspond a ton gamepad donc pas updateps3pad) dans le fichier gamepad.h tu doit metre l'ID du joystick sur
#define GAMEPAD_LOGITECH_ID 0x00000000
puis dans les structures (typedef enum)
{
..}PAD_AXIS ;
et
{
...}PAD_BUTTONS;
par exemple le num du bouton pour emergency tu le met
PAD_START=1, et le decollage/atterrissage
PAD_SELECT=2;
Voila
It'd be kwl on a touchscreen pc
I got this, seems to be related to the new version of Ubuntu, install version ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386 working fine for me :)
Awsome! But I prefer the Control throu the iPhone 4
now try it on a kindle
Launch a PC and MAC compatible version and drop the price by a few digits and I may think about getting one.
@ubudog32 Saitek joystick.
