Getting started

======

Connect to your ar drone 2 via WLAN, then run node.server.js open up localhost:3001 and you're ready to go.

Use `W`, `A`, `S`, `D` to move front, back and sideways. Use your `cursors` (arrows) to go up/down or turn clockwise / counter-clockwise.

Some animations can be triggered with `1-4`

`SPACE` for taking of and `esc` for landing.

When you crash use `e` to recover from emergency mode.

This project is heavily inspired from https://github.com/usefulthink/nodecopter-monitor . I just removed the three.js part and ported it from socket.io to faye since I like that better.

Dependencies

=======

You can install/update the node dependencies via `npm install -d`.

Dependencies for client code are managed via bower ( https://github.com/twitter/bower ). 

You need to have `ffmpeg` installed (it's used for the picture stuff)

Screenshot

========

This is how it looks like in action:

TODO

======

- use getUserMedia/the webcam to control the drone (like magic xylophone...)

- add a slider to make the speed/duration of actions configurable

- toggle between takeoff/land buttons or disable takeoff button after takeoff...

- mayby change the "recover" button to send a land command first (because otherwise the drone tries to start again...)

- only show the recover button when the drone is in emergency mode

- use canvas to draw angle-stuff or rotate the picture stream accordingly

- get rid of the (sometimes) long lag of the picture stream 

- makte it work without ffmpeg (skip the picture stuff then....)
