We detect a specific wifi signal with a Raspberry Pi mounted on a Parrot ARDrone. This README has most of the important details, but we discuss the process in detail in three papers. Paper 1, Paper 2, Paper 3.

• ARDrone
  • SDK
  • Documentation

The Drone Controller files can be found in drone-controller.

• Python

  • ARDrone SDK (github)
  • our stabledrone.py script calls built-in capabilities of the ARDrone to detect and hover over their supplied marker.
  

• Node.js

  • Node.js Drone Package

  • The Node.js controller is found at node-js.

    • npm install

  • to get drone PNG feed install ar-drone-png-stream (https://github.com/Soarez/ar-drone-png-stream) module using

    • npm install ar-drone-png-stream

• ROS ARDrone Autonomy

  • primarily followed this guide

  • installed ROS on MacOS via Docker

  • also had to follow the pre-install instructions on the ARDrone Autonomy Github

  • Docker Hub repo

    • check current docker images with docker images

      REPOSITORY          TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE

    • run the image with docker exec -it patxu/ardrone
    • custom setup script that runs some basic commands at ardrone_setup.sh

  • connect to two Wifi networks by using a Wifi card. this will allow you to connect to the drone while maintaining internet service
