I'm building a drone with my BBBW as its brain. I have my remote control for it mostly coded in VB.NET. Basically what it does is it runs the BBBW on the drone in hotspot mode and it just synchs the stacks in my tablet with the BBBW and I send UDP packets via winsock with raw "joystick" coordinates to the controlling daemon on the drone.
Range is only about 400 feet out doors, but more than enough to fly a drone around a little. Here is a screen shot of what appears on the tablet. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-5BhAEQ64o7c/WI_Y_c2BLnI/AAAAAAAAADs/KiKCmJxg0_8MZ-yCHlo2CDr7d-Cuhr4hACLcB/s1600/droneremote.jpg> The left hand control is throttle and you can pitch by moving your thumb up and down on the right hand control and yaw is with right to left. Roll is nulled out by the 6DOF interial module. To fly forward what you do is pitch forward and increase your throttle and then you steer by yawing. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
