Python library for the AR.Drone

Python 100.00%

python-ardrone's Introduction

A video of the library controlling a drone in action (click to jump to the video).

Getting Started:

>>> import libardrone
>>> drone = libardrone.ARDrone()
>>> # You might need to call drone.reset() before taking off if the drone is in
>>> # emergency mode
>>> drone.takeoff()
>>> drone.land()
>>> drone.halt()

The drone's property image contains always the latest image from the camera. The drone's property navdata contains always the latest navdata.

Demo:

There is also a demo application included which shows the video from the drone and lets you remote-control the drone with the keyboard:

RETURN      - takeoff
SPACE       - land
BACKSPACE   - reset (from emergency)
a/d         - left/right
w/s         - forward/back
1,2,...,0   - speed
UP/DOWN     - altitude
LEFT/RIGHT  - turn left/right

Here is a video of the library in action:

python-ardrone's Issues

User emergency

Hi, I am having a few issues with the drone going into user emergency mode. Sometimes the drone flies fine with my code, but at other times it will keep throwing a user emergency with the exact same code. I have tried taking out the drone.reset() function (the documentation says it toggles the emergency state) but it has no effect.

How to install from pypi with pip?

variable for getting the video stream from ardrone ?

Psyco dependency is outdated, can't be found

Maybe that will help me?

How to disable Ultrasonic sensors

Hello,

I want to disable the bottom sensors (Ultrasonic sensors) for Ar-Drone 2.0. Can you help me?

Read magnetometer

Hello, is it possible to read magnetometer data from the drone with the library?

ARdrone().get_image() returns array of zeroes.

drone = libardrone.ARDrone()
drone.get_image()
array([[[0, 0, 0],
        [0, 0, 0],
        [0, 0, 0],
        ...,

any ideas?

Change IP Address to property

in line 321 of libardrone.py, you call to send commands to a hardcoded IP address (192.168.1.1)
This works in most controller use cases, but consider changing it to an attribute of ARDrone. This will allow others to freely change the Drone's IP Address programmatically, for instance in use of trying to control a fleet of drones

Error 10038 'An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket'

I try to run the following commands -

import libardrone
drone = libardrone.ARDrone()

environment - using jupyter notebook to run the demo code. Using python 2.7 version.
Line on with error is reported is -
File "ardrone\arnetwork.py", line 99, in run
inputready, outputready, exceptready = select.select([self.drone.video_pipe, self.drone.nav_pipe], [], [], 1)
error: (10038, 'An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket')

video does not work

I have a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS OS with Python 2.7.3
I can fly the drone and this works great.

Sadly psycon is no longer maintained and a dead project. And psycon does not work with Python 2.7, only with Python 2.6

Is there any possibility that this might be fixed in the future? Is there any workaround/fix/solution to this?

Get magnetometer data

Hello,
I am wondering if it is possible to get navdata concerning the magnetometer with libardrone.py ?
I am using an Ardrone2 with firmware version 2.4.8.

socket error:error: (10038, '')

Can you help me? When I run the demo.py, it's seems can't connect the network.

Exception in thread Thread-3:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:\Anaconda2\lib\threading.py", line 801, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "E:\Python\python-ardrone-master\arnetwork.py", line 105, in run
inputready, outputready, exceptready = select.select([self.drone.video_pipe, self.drone.nav_pipe], [], [], 1)
error: (10038, '')

What is the variable for the ARDrone video stream to process it with opencv?

Hi,

I am trying to access the video stream from the ardrone using the libardrone. I am not sure which object I need to use so that I can pass it to opencv.

Any pointers would be great.

Thanks in advance

Why doesn't AR Drone work using Python with libardrone library?

I ve recentrly bought Parrot AR Drone Elite Edition 2.0. I tried to controllit with python using this library https://github.com/venthur/python-ardrone. On Windows I got error 10038 saying "An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket". On Kali Linux application seemed to be running but drone didnt do anything. It looks like it's an issue with select.select() command. Do you have any solutions?
