Bebop
The Parrot Bebop and Parrot Bebop 2 are inexpensive quadcopters that can be controlled using their built-in API commands via a WiFi connection. They include a built-in front-facing HD video camera, as well as a second lower resolution bottom-facing video camera.
API ReferenceHow to Install
go get -d -u gobot.io/x/gobot/...
How to Use
package main import ( "time" "gobot.io/x/gobot" "gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/parrot/bebop" ) func main() { bebopAdaptor := bebop.NewAdaptor() drone := bebop.NewDriver(bebopAdaptor) work := func() { drone.HullProtection(true) drone.TakeOff() gobot.On(drone.Event("flying"), func(data interface{}) { gobot.After(3*time.Second, func() { drone.Land() }) }) } robot := gobot.NewRobot("drone", []gobot.Connection{bebopAdaptor}, []gobot.Device{drone}, work, ) robot.Start() }
How to Connect
By default, the Parrot Bebop is a WiFi access point, so there is no additional work to establish a connection to a single drone, you just connect to it.
Once connected, if you want to stream drone video you can either:
- Use the RTP protocol with an external player such as mplayer or VLC. - Grab the video frames from the drone's data frames, and work with them directly.
