Hello,
I'm trying to play with the EZ builder software (2012.06.20.00) and my new AR Drone 2.0 robot. I was able to use the Movement Panel to control my robot, however I do not see an image coming from the robot's camera.
I do see the AR Drone option in the camera control Video Device dropdown (after I connect to my robot using the movement panel), however I still see no image when I select it.
I believe I'm using the latest firmware for my Drone.
Also, do I need to buy the EZ-B or any other hardware if I want to implement color and face detection using my robot?
Thanks!
Mike
Also, do I need to buy any additional EZ-B hardware if I want to hook voice recognition control, color detection, face detection, and http server to my AR Drone robot?
Thanks!
Is it safe to assume that we will eventually have full support of the v2.0 Drone, or is it dependent on Parrot or someone else providing one to you?
I am very close to making a purchase. I really want to have the capabilities of the v2.0 for a non robotics related project, but the prices on eBay for the 1.0 are pretty good right now, so knowing whether I will eventually be able to use it with my EZ-B may trump the other project.
Thanks,
Alan
Otherwise, I mostly want it for the robotic integration. One of the things I want to do when I finish my big bot is have it go on my neighborhood watch patrols for me, and having the drone able to take off from the robot to get up close to something I want to see would be really cool.

I'm hoping to run these demonstrations next month, so time is of the essence for me. Is there any short-term workaround that I can employ to have the AR Drone 2.0 color tracking within that timeframe?
Thanks very much!

Drone 2.0 support is not yet added to ARC, if you read above you can see DJ has mentioned it is coming but there is no idea of a timeframe for the support. Since that was almost 18 months ago we can assume support may not come of may be quite some time still. I believe there was little to no support for the 2.0 from Parrot which didn't help.
In short, 2.0 support is not there. You may be able to use parts of the 2.0 by trying the control for the AR Drone 1.0.
