AR Drone Compatibility
AR Drone Compatibility
Thank you for creating some terrific software!!! Do you have any information on how this could be used in conjunction with real hardware (AR Drone Quadcopter). Could V-Rep transmit commands to the AR Drone? Any information would be very much appreciated.

Hello Andrew,
You have many different options to connect V-REP with real hardware, some of them are:
- via the remote API. You just need to add 2-3 C-files to your project, in order to connect to V-REP (function calls as well as data streaming is supported)
- via a plugin. The plugin is then in charge of connecting to your hardware.
- via the ROS interface to V-REP.
- via a custom solution. For instance, you could implement a child script that connects via luaSocket to your hardware.
We however recommend the first solution mentioned, since it is the easiest to set-up.
Have also a look at the demo scene "scenes/controlTypeExamples.ttt" (included in the installation package), which demonstrates above mentioned possibilities. Have also a look here for a good overview.
Cheers
