ROS node for the Parrot Bebop (1 or 2) teleop

To install and run this, you'll need SDL 2, which you may have to install (libsdl2-dev), and SDL_TTF.

To install the bebop_teleop package, clone this repo into a catkin workspace's src directory (preferably a new/clean one), and run $ catkin_make. Then, source the workspace's setup.(ba)sh.

To run the program, first connect to a Bebop's wireless network. Then, run the following commands:

$ roslaunch bebop_teleop bebop_connection.launch
$ roslaunch bebop_teleop teleop.launch

If a Bebop is not available, but you would still like to test the package, run $ rosrun bebop_teleop webcam in place of $ roslaunch bebop_teleop bebop_connection.launch. This will replace the Bebop camera feed with webcam feed in the GUI.

Some asset files may need to be configured. You can see what can be changed by examining the launch/teleop.launch file, and changing the parameters. Alternatively, you can specify the font_path and circle_path parameters like so:

$ roslaunch bebop_teleop bebop_connection.launch font_path:="path/to/font.ttf/otf" circle_path:="path/to/circle.bmp"
