Help: Need Assistance In Programming 2Xbrookstone Rovers And 2Xparrots

For the awsome office application. Could not manage on my own.

For a fee of cause.

I want them to move around, greet people, recognize movements etc.


ARC Pro

Upgrade to ARC Pro

ARC Pro is more than a tool; it's a creative playground for robot enthusiasts, where you can turn your wildest ideas into reality.

Read all of the tutorials and watch the videos. ARC makes it easy for everyone to "program" their robots. If there are any specific controls or functions that you need help with the answers are often in these forums, otherwise just ask.

I've spent 2 nights trying to program using ARC without any particular success. I believe someone more proficient in this could do this in a couple of hours. Considering above I gave up and would rather pay someone who can do that properly and quick when spend undefined time period trying to accomplish it myself:)

@MCHK, you can watch the tutorial video for the AR Parrot Drone. Press the ? button on the AR Parrot Drone control, or visit the tutorial page: https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/Help.aspx?id=160

You do not need to "program" the AR Parrot Drone.

  1. Load ARC

  2. Connect to AR Parrot Drone over WIFI

  3. Click Add Control

  4. Select Robots

  5. Select AR Parrot Drone Movement Panel

  6. Click Add Control

  7. Select Camera

  8. Select Camera Control

  9. Press CONNECT on AR Parrot Drone Movement Panel

  10. Select AR PArrot Drone on Camera Control Device List

You may now use the buttons on the Movement Panel to control the drone. If you wish to use a joystick to fly the drone, add the joystick control.

  1. Click Add Control

  2. Select Misc

  3. Select Joystick

  4. Press Configure on Joystick

  5. Ensure the checkbox is CHECKED on the first tab "use movement controls"

  6. Switch to second tab (Joystick #2)

  7. Ensure the checkbox is checked "use pitch/roll drone movements"

  8. Press SAVE

Now you may use the Joystick to control the drone

If you wish your drone to follow a color...

  1. Press Config on camera control

  2. select Enable Movement Tracking

  3. Press Save

  4. select "Tracking" tab on the camera control

  5. select the Color checkbox

Now your robot will default track the color red. You can change the color and brightness by selecting the Color tab on the Camera Control.

You can also perform the same to track faces, but select Face instead of Color.

Doesn't get any easier than that:) No programming required.

Thanks a lot DJ! What a great community here!

Well, so far I've got. For some reason the EX Builder does not like the Parrot Drone's video (no video here). Besides, isn't it supposed to follow movement?

Thanks:)

Are you using a AR Parrot Drone version 1 or version 2?

Version 2

That would be the issue. There is no support for version 2. When you Add the control, in specifies version 1 in the title name:)
