[![Video of the drone in action](https://img.youtube.com/vi/2HEV37GbUow/0.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HEV37GbUow "Click to go to the video.")

A video of the library controlling a drone in action (click to jump to the video).

Getting Started:

----------------

```python

>>> import libardrone

>>> drone = libardrone.ARDrone()

>>> # You might need to call drone.reset() before taking off if the drone is in

>>> # emergency mode

>>> drone.takeoff()

>>> drone.land()

>>> drone.halt()

```

The drone's property `image` contains always the latest image from the camera.

The drone's property `navdata` contains always the latest navdata.

Demo:

-----

There is also a demo application included which shows the video from the drone

and lets you remote-control the drone with the keyboard:

    RETURN      - takeoff

    SPACE       - land

    BACKSPACE   - reset (from emergency)

    a/d         - left/right

    w/s         - forward/back

    1,2,...,0   - speed

    UP/DOWN     - altitude

    LEFT/RIGHT  - turn left/right

Here is a [video] of the library in action:
