AR Drone Developer Guide Notes


  • Each pair of opposite rotors is turning the same way. One pair is turning clockwise and the other is turning anti-clockwise. 
  • Varying left and right rotor speeds the opposite way yields roll.
  • Varying front and rear rotor speeds the opposite way yields pitch. 
  • Varying each rotor pair speed the opposite way yields yaw. 
  • Drone can be set in light and low wind drag config. 
  • Tags can be added to the external hull to allow several drones to easily detect each others via their cameras. 
  • If a propeller encounters any obstacle, the drone will detect if any propeller is blocked and stop all engines immediately. 
  • The drone has many sensors are are used for stabilization and assisted tilting control, VS control, hovering, and trimming. 
  • All manoeuvres are completely assisted. 
  • Alt limit, yaw limit, vs limit, tilt limit can all be tuned. 
  • The front camera is a CMOS sensor with a 90 degrees angle lens. 
  • Connect to drone via Wifi network.
  • Drone contains a 3 axis magnetometer sensor and pressure sensor. It also measures ultrasound performance. 
  • Drone uses a standard USB-A connector. 
  • Drone library contains high level API's to access the drone.
