YADrone is yet another open framework for controlling the AR.Drone 2. It is 100% pure Java and currently in use for teaching and research. It's main features are:
  • Easy, yet powerful framework to control the drone
  • Support for sensor readings and NavData, video and drone configuration
  • A control center that visualizes sensor readings and allows to control the drone via keyboard
  • Also supports Android (but no video)
  • Framework is 100% pure Java and is easily extendable
Note: If you have an old AR.Drone version 1 you'll be better off with either ARDroneForP5, JavaDrone or EasyDrone !

YADrone is still beta. You use this framework at your own risk. It is provided as is and YOU are responsible for any harm or drone damage. Please be careful !

YADrone is open: comments, bug reports and contributions are warmly welcome !

YADrone was initially based on the [ ARDroneForP5 project ] and added a NavData parser from the [ JavaDrone project ]. Recently, the code has been rebased on the [ lab-drone project ] a former extension of YADrone. Credits and thanks go to all guys working on these projects, especially Shigeo Yoshida and Rian Wouters !
