Intuitive control of a AR Drone 2.0 with help of the leap motion and Raspberry Pi to broadcast a live video feed. A client fetches the images from the Pi and shows them in a web app (work on face recognition in progress).

Made at the hackathon Hack&Roll 2016 by Andres Galaviz, Michael Novén and Alejandro Leal Isla Flores. More info about the project here.

Stuff needed

• AR Drone 2.0
• Leap Motion device
• Raspberry PI 2.0 with a camera module, wi-fi dongle and a powerbank for the power.
• Duck tape to mount it onto the drone.
• Two computers communicating with PI and Drone (we call them Client and Server respectively). Also possible with one computer and two network cards.

Client:

1. Install packages with npm install
2. Run local server with grunt server

Server:

1. Install node
2. Run node robot.js when connected to drone
