Hi everyone I just bought 2 more Ar-drones. What do you want me to make with 3 drones working together?

Just found this guys channel. Loving your content subscribed immediately

Thanks for the really great info. Here's a project idea - that you combine your last EEG leds project with this one, for use by youth who are nonverbal with special learning needs to communicate their emotional state while they build neural plasticity. The EEG + Drone design by Puzzlebox Orbit is only for elite minds because the drone darts all over the place before young minds have developed the cognitive control required. Your vertical drone would offer a less stressful engagement and pushing it off centre but keeping it floating would encourage playful engagement.

Greta video i enjoyed your video! just wanted to comment to show my appreciation

sieuwe Good day i love your works and video contents, i want to learn ar drone programming can you help me with that sir

Request: Interesting topic, can you make a drone with 3d stereo camera for autonomous flying.
I got a sample code for stereo camera in java processing. Actually it's really simple but need more processing power in case you use Pi. If u are ready let me know.

Idea is using stereo camera we can find the distance of objects and We can take right decision to fly towards destination.

Hi Sieuwe Elferink,

Can I use python 3.8.1 if not I'll use 2.7 to program the drone? After watching your video I have a ps-drone shipping to me and I see programming drones as the future! This could be a great income provider, because companies will be hiring like Amazon for anyone who has experience in this field of know how with drone program knowledge.

What was your greatest obstacle with this drone project in coding? Awesome video presentation Sieuwe!

Hello, this project seems awesome. Please guide me can I test my control algorithms on this drone. I mean I want motor control.

Hi, nice video! by the way, do you know how to disable the optical flow in ar drone 2?

[huseynilproqramlasma]

Hi great job. which do you used companion computer?.can i change this project to object tracking for drone

[sharyatsingh]

hey man,
I love your project and I really want to do that by myself.
I wanted to ask if you used an audrino or something? maybe you said it but I missed it.
secondly, could you tell me what skills I need to know? I can do some python programming and I am learning to use an audrino. will that be enough?
thanks and best of luck with your future projects

What was the purpose of line 212 in your Main.py file? I don't really follow the conditional statement made: " if cv2.waitKey(25) & 0xFF == ord('q'tAltitude - Altitude) < -80". Thanks in advance for any assistance

Sieuwe, so what do we need to get started on controlling a drone with python as far as drone hardware goes? Just a drone with a camera? Obviously some come with software, or you can buy software but I want to learn how to interact with it and fly one from my PC ;)

[mulkimaulifahmi]

bro want to ask, should the ar drone camera be moved down? what is the effect when the camera is not moved?

[noamamir]

how did you send commands to the drone, what kind of transmitter did you use?

[MACaronyboy]

Is this possible on the smaller Parrots such as the Mambo?

[gowravkrishnachowdaryboyap]

Can anyone give the buy link for the drone please
