AT Commands

AT Commands

'AT*REF=0,512\r' +
'AT*PCMD=1,0,0,0,0,0\r'
                            

SDK

According to tests, a satisfying control of the AR.Drone is reached by sending the ATcommands every 30 ms for smooth drone movements. To prevent the drone from considering the WIFI connection as lost, two consecutive commands must be sent within less than 2 seconds.

Take Off

dgram = require 'dgram'
socket = dgram.createSocket 'udp4'
seq = 0

flying = false
emergency = false

setInterval ->
    ref = (flying << 9) | (emergency << 8)

    commands = [
        "AT*REF=#{seq++},#{ref}"
        "AT*PCMD=#{seq++},0,0,0,0,0"
    ].join('\r') + '\r'

    buffer = new Buffer commands
    socket.send buffer, 0, buffer.length, 5556, '192.168.1.1'
, 30

Do something

var arDrone = require('ar-drone');
var client  = arDrone.createClient();

client.takeoff();

client
    .after(5000, function() {
        this.clockwise(0.5);
    })
    .after(3000, function() {
        this.stop();
        this.land();
    });
                        

REPL

var arDrone = require('ar-drone');
var client  = arDrone.createClient();
client.createRepl();
                        

navdata

var arDrone = require('ar-drone');
var client  = arDrone.createClient();
client.on('navdata', console.log);
