Got Drone?

SamwiseRed · #1 02-10-2016, 05:00 PM

I have an AR Parrot 2.0 I just started messing with. I will be using it recreation as well as a project for uni. Eventually I will be developing some kind of geo tagging system but for now I am just playing with it. Anyone other drone pilots/programmers out there? Currently I am looking at using node.js and possibly some stuff with ROS.

I feel like drones should be restricted to restricted air space, not anywhere near people or property. Just like rockets and bombs and guns are.

Naw, it is going to follow me around so I can play RL like I scrolled my mouse wheel back.

That's actually an amazing idea. Work out an interface with Occulus Rift and you'd be set!

Someone sort of did this already. Not sure if maerlith's link is it.

I saw a dude down the block fly his drone up about 50 or 60 feet then it flipped upside down, hit full throttle and hit the ground.

I was surprised he didn't throw the controller down after that.

the thing i do not like about my drone so far is anyone can connect to it mid flight if they know how to. i imagine a lot of drones are like this. if you see one, try it.
