Code to use the Parrot AR.Drone in MEE4411: Introduction to Mobile Robotics
Note: This assumes you have Ubuntu 18.04 and have installed the mee4411_turtlebot3 package using the recommneded directions (so that your ROS workspace is in ~/catkin_ws).
Download and run the installation script using the following commands:

Run the following command to ensure that your simulation environment is working properly.
source ~/.bashrc
roslaunch ardrone_phase1 phase1.launch
You should see the following screen appear, with a set of blocks in the environment and a drone in the lower right corner:
