"You must have bluetooth enabled and be connected to a drone" error

[remzinho]

Not sure if this repo is active but giving this a try:
I'm running this in Ubuntu 16.04 64.
Installed all pre-reqs.
connected ubuntu to the Maclane drone
then ran the discover.js with sudo in a terminal
got noble: unknown peripheral <addr> connected
immediately after got noble: unknown peripheral <addr> disconnected
then i ran sudo node reconnect.js in a different terminal (reconnect.js is a bit modified to just do the take off and landing)

i get the following error:

Prepare for take off!  Maclan_033049
/home/remzi/Desktop/workspace/node-rolling-spider/lib/drone.js:342
      throw e;
      ^

Error: You must have bluetooth enabled and be connected to a drone before executing a command. Please ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your machine and you are connected.

Am i missing something?

@remzi-e is this still an issue?

[remzinho]

i still get the unknown peripheral <addr> connected error when running the discover.js example
don't get the error though.
should we close this and open a different issue?

[lynnaloo]

Which Parrot drone is this? That unknown error is likely because the Maclan_ prefix isn't in the list of drones that are supported. I can add that and try to provide a more information in the case of unknown drones.

[remzinho]

i get this with both Airborne Night Maclane and the Mambo models.

[remzinho]

should this issue be renamed?

[lynnaloo]

Did you already run this:

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez libbluetooth-dev libudev-dev

[remzinho]

of course. i can get the drones moving (1 by 1) using the index.js script but the discover.js script throws that unknown output everytime i run it after connecting to the drone from the OS.

[lynnaloo]

Are you pairing the drone with Bluetooth through Ubuntu before running discover.js? If that's the case, then you only want to do it through this application since noble does the pairing.

[remzinho]

yeah, i thought that was the normal workflow.
if i don't do that before, there is not output from discover.js.
index.js is successful in connecting and doing what it does, though.

[lynnaloo]

Can you console.log peripheral here: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-rolling-spider/blob/master/eg/discover.js#L17? I suspect it's not making it past that conditional check.

Also, make sure you're using version 1.7.0. We just published that today.

[lynnaloo]

@remzi-e can we close this one?

[remzinho]

Yes.
