I also expect after DJ gets the Flight Recorder, we might see new available variables or commands to get drone position and altitude, and direction (while moving, not sure it can give direction when stationary. GPS can't provide that, and it doesn't have a compass).

Unfortunately, the weight carrying capacity of the AR Drone is very low, so you wouldn't be able to add an EZ-B and power to it in order to add additional sensors other than what it already delivers from its altitude ping sensor, camera, and GPS.

DJ, one other request for additional drone support. With the latest firmware, it is possible to change the AR Drones IP address, or even make it connect to another WiFi instead of running in AP mode (much like the EZ-B v4, although it doesn't support WEP or WPA security, just open networks )

Could you add support for connecting to it on an alternate IP address?

Thanks,

Alan
