Argus -- Parrot AR Drone Ruby API Use at your own riskPlatformsArtoo has a extensible system for connecting to hardware devices. The ARDrone from Parrot is an inexpensive quadcopter that is controlled using WiFi. It includes a built-in front-facing HD video camera, as well as a second lower resolution bottom facing video camera. + info about the ARDrone platform click here Install the Artoo module providing ARDrone support through RubyGems: This small program lets the ARDrone takeoff, hover, and land. The ARDrone is a WiFi device, so there is no additional work to establish a connection to a single drone. However, in order to connect to multiple drones, you need to perform some configuration steps on each drone via SSH. Automatic Reset From Emergency Mode When you first connect to the ARDrone by calling the start method, if it is in "emergency" mode, the ARDrone will not take off. Artoo can automatically reset it back "normal" mode, to be able to fly IF you pass in the navigation like this example:

Available drivers for the ARDrone platform are listed below. There are three drivers for the ARDrone: the ARDrone for flight control, the ARDroneNav for navigation data, and the ARDroneVideo for grabbing video data. Artoo Adaptor For ARDrone Artoo is a open source micro-framework for robotics using Ruby. The ARDrone is a WiFi device, so there is no additional work to establish a connection to a single drone.

Come visit us on IRC freenode #artoo All active development is in the dev branch. New or updated features must be added to the dev branch.

Hotfixes will be considered on the master branch in situations where it does not alter behaviour or features, only fixes a bug. All patches must be provided under the Apache 2.0 License Please use the -s option in git to "sign off" that the commit is your work and you are providing it under the Apache 2.0 License Submit a Github Pull Request to the appropriate branch and ideally discuss the changes with us in IRC. We will look at the patch, test it out, and give you feedback. Avoid doing minor whitespace changes, renamings, etc. along with merged content. These will be done by the maintainers from time to time but they can complicate merges and should be done seperately. Take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. All pull requests should be "fast forward" If there are commits after yours use “git rebase -i ” If you have local changes you may need to use “git stash” For git help see progit which is an awesome (and free) book on git
