How to Use

package main

import (
  "time"

  "gobot.io/x/gobot/v2"
  "gobot.io/x/gobot/v2/platforms/parrot/ardrone"
)

func main() {
  ardroneAdaptor := ardrone.NewAdaptor("Drone")
  drone := ardrone.NewDriver(ardroneAdaptor, "Drone")

  work := func() {
    drone.On(drone.Event("flying"), func(data interface{}) {
      gobot.After(3*time.Second, func() {
        drone.Land()
      })
    })
    drone.TakeOff()
  }

  robot := gobot.NewRobot("drone",
    []gobot.Connection{ardroneAdaptor},
    []gobot.Device{drone},
    work,
  )

  if err := robot.Start(); err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
}

How to Connect

The ARDrone is a WiFi device, so there is no additional work to establish a connection to a single drone. However, in order to connect to multiple drones, you need to perform some configuration steps on each drone via SSH.
