**NodeCopter.js is a full day event where 15 - 60 developers team up in groups of 3.**
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Each team receives one <a href="http://ardrone2.parrot.com/">Parrot
|
|
AR Drone 2.0</a> and spends the day <a
|
|
href="https://github.com/felixge/node-ar-drone">programming</a> and
|
|
playing with it. At the end of the day, each team gets to present
|
|
their work to the other attendees.

Install [Node.js](http://nodejs.org) and get the
|
|
[ar-drone](http://github.com/felixge/node-ar-drone) module. All you need to do then is
|
|
to execute the following code with node. That will make your drone take off,
|
|
move around, do a flip and carefully land again. Seriously, that's all!
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
var arDrone = require('ar-drone');
|
|
var client = arDrone.createClient();
|
|
|
|
client.takeoff();
|
|
|
|
client
|
|
.after(5000, function() {
|
|
this.clockwise(0.5);
|
|
})
|
|
.after(3000, function() {
|
|
this.animate('flipLeft', 15);
|
|
})
|
|
.after(1000, function() {
|
|
this.stop();
|
|
this.land();
|
|
});
|
|
```
