AR.Drone 2.0 status in the browser via WebSocket
You will need a browser that supports WebSockets.
npm install dronestatus
In node you simply need to attach dronestatus
to your server:
require('dronestatus').listen(server);
In your HTML include the client script, then add a listener to handle status change from the drone:
<script src="/dronestatus/nodecopter-client.js"></script>
<script>
new NodecopterStatus().on('change', function (message) {
console.log(JSON.parse(message.data));
});
</script>
You can find a more detailed example under examples/
.
The payload that is provided from the server provides a lot of data about the state of the drone. I will attempt to document this more fully at some point. In the meantime example/message.json provides an example of what the message looks like.
