Parrot AR.Drone Node for Node-RED
This node lets you control the Parrot AR.Drone from Node-RED. It provides a wrapper around the existing Node.js library.
Installation
Install with npm.
npm install node-red-drone
Usage
This module provides both input and output nodes for the drone.
The output node will execute the string received on msg.payload as the function call on the client API, e.g. takeoff, land, up, down. Command parameters can be sent on the msg.command_options field, either as a single value or an array. This node also supports these additional commands.
- photo - take a picture using drone camera (returned as a Buffer).
- location - current GPS coordatinates.
- status - telemetry data from drone.
The input node publishes data that comes back from the drone. All existing client events, data streams for pictures, telemetry and gps are published, along with command responses for photo, location and status. Event name is set on msg.payload and msg.data contains the response. This node can be configured to ignore and delay event messages using the editor panel.
