This aims to provide a minimal demonstration example for controlling a SG500 drone using libcopter.
In this directory, perform the following steps:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
This should build both the static library libcopter_static.a and the demo program.
Connect to your drone's WiFi. You might or might not need to disconnect your wired network first.
Then run the demo program located in the build/ directory.
The video stream should be displayed.
The controls are as follows:
- wasd: go forward/backward/left/right
- rf: go up/down
- qe: rotate left/right
- x: takeoff
- c: panic
- z: land
- 123: reset all speeds to zero
Note that all commands add up to the current speed. Do not press-and-hold the keys. Instead, pressing w once goes forward slowly until s is pressed. Pressing w three times and d once goes forward with a high speed and a bit to the right. Then pressing 1 is equivalent to pressing s three times and a once.
No video stream: retry, maybe power-cycle your copter. It sometimes does not work on the first try.
Infinite loop when connecting: Probably time for some wireshark. Sorry.
