simple me! about node-ar-drone HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you share your full code sample? Maybe the duration is too short. I'm just getting started with the ar drone, only animation I've tried was blinking the LED's

from node-ar-drone.

Also check for battery levels. The drone won't do flips if the level is too low.

yea, tried batteries. I'm running from terminal on a Macbook Pro. I have node.js installed and node-ar-drone. Managed to control the basic movement of copter with the code but when i do animate or animateLeds it reports undefined. I have copied the code I am trying to execute below with some samples of what works and what doesn't. If I save the code as a .js and execute, it executes the movements but ignores the animations.

Do I need to do something with the Parrot SDK for these to work???

DanMacbookPro:~ dan$ cd node_modules
DanMacbookPro:node_modules dan$ cd ar-drone
DanMacbookPro:ar-drone dan$ node repl.js
drone> front(0.5)
0.5
drone> clockwise(0.5)
0.5
drone> animate('flipLeft', 15)
undefined
drone> animate('turnaround', 1500)
undefined
drone> animate('yawDance', 3000)
undefined
drone> animateLeds('blinkGreen', 5, 5)
undefined

Your code looks ok. undefined is the expected return value. The Parrot SDK is not a dependency.

Are you using an AR Drone 1 by any chance? They don't support the flips & stuf

Closing this as it's been nearly a year since it was reported.
