This is a plugin for the browser-based AR.Drone ground control station webflight that adds on screen buttons for control.

You will need the ardrone-webflight and webflight-onscreen-keyboard repos:

git clone git://github.com/eschnou/ardrone-webflight.git
git clone git://github.com/andrew/webflight-onscreen-keyboard.git

Run npm install for each:

(cd ardrone-webflight && npm install)
(cd webflight-onscreen-keyboard && npm install)

Plus bower install for webflight:

npm install -g bower
(cd ardrone-webflight && bower install)

Link webflight-onscreen-keyboard into webflight's plugins directory:

(cd ardrone-webflight/plugins && ln -s ../../webflight-onscreen-keyboard onscreen-keyboard)

Copy ardrone-webflight's config.js.example to config.js:

(cd ardrone-webflight && cp config.js.example config.js)

Add "onscreen-keyboard" to the plugins array in config.js and remove or comment out "pilot" so it looks something like this:

var config = {
  plugins: [
  "hud"
  , "onscreen-keyboard"
  , "video-stream"
  , "battery"
  ]
};

module.exports = config;

Now you can start the webflight server:

(cd ardrone-webflight && node app.js)
