Ar Drone Control

I am trying to use the ARC software to control my ar.drone and it works but ten seconds after I start camera it locks up the software. In your film what firmware are you using on the drone? I tried following all of the steps in your video but the software locks up before I can change the camera settings.

--edit I just rewatched your video, Duh, I need a movement board. Now where can I find one of those...

Is the connection to the AR Drone bluetooth or WiFi?

I know the flight time is about 15 minutes, but do you knoow the standby time (poweed up and ready, but not flying)? Do you know its max flight speed? Having some thoughts of a mobile neighborhood watch bot, using the drone as a remote sensor when i need a quick closer look at something.

Wifi.

When developing, i didn't have much flight time. It would sit on the floor for about 2.5 hours before the battery died and it would not fly. I've ordered some high amp batteries for replacement

Cool, thanks. I think that would work for my new design.

Thanks for the fix DJ, much appreciated. I didn't have a camera device attached.

I'm now gonna get the A.R. Drone 2.0 when it comes out in a few months! It will be fun trying EZ-B with multiple BlinkM leds and some EL wire. There are a few cool youtube videos with strip LED mods that inspired me! Cant wait for the new one with HD 720 camera. :D
