godrone

An open firmware for the Parrot AR Drone 2 written in Go.

Status

This project is a work in progress, but the following things should work:

Navboard driver
Motorboard driver
Complementary flight stablization filter
Gamepad control via WebSocket / HTML5 Gamepad API
Basic flight!

A 0.1 release will be announced soon. It will come with binary installers for OSX, Linux and Windows.

Roadmap

The following things still need to be implemented:

Ultrasound height detection
Battery status
Reset motor emergency mode
High level API for writing apps
Camera Access
Optical flow tracking for bottom camera / better hover stabilization
Kalman filter (supposedly better performance than complementary filter)
Parrot UDP protocol
Parrot TCP Video Protocol
JS scripting

Motivation

This project is mainly a personal challenge I set for myself.

However, if it turns out well, this firmware may become a viable replacement for the Parrot AR Drone firmware, allowing for a few interesting use cases:

Education: Demonstrate quad copter physics, by controlling motors individually.
Autonomy: Write autonomous drone software that requires no Wi-Fi connection / client to be connected.
HTML client: Control the drone from the web browser of any device via HTML / JS / WebSockets. No need for custom apps.
Acrobatics: Teach the drone new acrobatic tricks and allow for more aggresive flight.
Hackability: Easy support for additional devices connected to the drone (GPS, Sensors, Lasers, etc.)
