AR.Drone

Parrot produces a very nice quadcopter called "AR.Done"

Homepage: http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/usa/

In Vienna you can get them at Mediamarkt & Saturn for 300,- EUR

We plan to make a mesh of flying drones.


FAQ

OLSRD - HowTo / Build @ Debian 5.0

Add new Source to /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.emdebian.org/debian/ lenny main

Get new Update´s!

sudo apt-get update

Copy & Paste into Shell:

sudo apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring libc6-armel-cross libc6-dev-armel-cross binutils-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi g++-4.3-arm-linux-gnueabi apt-cross dpkg-cross libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get update

Download/Extract Latest STABLE OLSRD Release: (Example)

wget http://www.olsr.org/releases/[VERSION]/olsrd-[VERSION].tar.gz
tar xfv olsrd-[VERSION].tar.gz
cd olsrd-[VERSION]

Edit Makefile.inc:

vi Makefile.inc

Press [ i ]

CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.3

Press [ ESC ] & type [ :wq ] & PRESS ENTER

Compile OLSRD:

make
make libs

Now olsrd is Compiled and ready for AR.Drone!

Copy Compiled OLSRD to AR.Drone

You need:

  1. Laptop with Wireless LAN
  2. Local Webserver (MacOS X has one ;)
  3. Compiled OLSR Binary´s (Plugin´s, OLSRD)
  • Connect your Laptop with AR.Drone
  • Wait few seconds for IP (192.168.1.2)
  • Open a shell window and telnet into AR.Drone
telnet 192.168.1.1
  • Lets create some Folder´s on AR.Drone
mkdir /data/apps
mkdir /data/apps/etc
mkdir /data/apps/lib
mkdir /data/apps/init.d
mkdir /var/run
  • Copy OLSRD Binary
cd /data/apps
wget http://192.168.1.2/~[USERNAME]/olsrd
ln -s /data/apps/olsrd /bin/olsrd
chmod 777 /bin/olsrd
  • Copy OLSRD_LIB´s
cd /data/apps/lib
wget http://192.168.1.2/~[USERNAME]/olsrd_txtinfo.so.0.1
wget http://192.168.1.2/~[USERNAME]/olsrd_httpinfo.so.0.1
