A nodecopter simulator

ar-drone-simulator

Simulate your drone on your computer before you take it for a real flight.

This is using the ar-drone library for receiving commands, but you can send it more commands if you need to.

How it works

It intercepts UDP messages and passes them to a server displaying a 3d version of a drone

Setup

npm install 

This will install my forked version of ar-drone because I have it working with my simulator and pending pull requests

Simulate

Start the drone

node drone.js

Start the repl and start sending commands to it

DEFAULT_DRONE_IP=127.0.0.1 node repl.js

You can see the commands coming in as you type the different ar-drone commands.

Web View

Right now we are working on activating the web view (in progress)
