godrone

An open firmware for the Parrot AR Drone 2 written in Go.

Status

Feel free to poke around the code, but don't expect much to work yet.

Roadmap

• Navdata reader (in progress)
• Kalman Filter
• Motor Drivers
• Stable Flight / Hover
• AT protocol (enough for compatibility with node-ardrone)
• Video protocol (enough for compatibility with FreeFlight app)
• Http protocol
• Fun hacks

Motivation

• Learning: A good excuse to dive into robotics algorithms.
• Docs: Document the AR Drone hardware/software interfaces.
• Curiosity: Can this be done in a garbage collected language?
• Community: Non-programmers should be able to download and run this firmware.
