Android ARDrone Flight Application.
Control the AR.Drones and record video.
ARDrone Flight has optional Platinum Features including support for V2 Drones, Flight Animations and Autonomous Mode via in-app payments.
See ARDrone Flight discussion on ARDrone-Flyers.com forums.
V2 AR.Drones require a powerful Android CPU - Galaxy S is a minimum requirement when using local video recording with overlays.
This software uses libraries from the FFmpeg project under the LGPLv2.1.
This software also uses the unmodified JAR of Apache Commons Net licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.
See http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html
Features:
Flight Animations:
* Flight animations allow a sequence of flight animations to be built up and then played back when the Drone is flying. This includes V2 only flips.
See http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html#FlightAnimations
Autonomous Mode:
* Uses you device GPS with Mapsforge maps to fly the Drone under autonomous control.
Uses offline mapping from Mapsforge.
See http://code.google.com/p/mapsforge/
N.B. Autonomous mode is why the Location permission is used.
See http://www.meavydev.co.uk/ARDrone.html#Autonomous
