Greetings!

At first, thanks for the great stuff you developed. I have AR Drone 1 and I decided to check if it works also on the earlier version. I can fly using Your API, but there are problems with getting the video from parrot. After running the firstVideo.py I get following error:

I read that AR Drone 1 uses UDP protocol in data transfering. Is this a reason of the error and how to fix it?

Best regards,
John

Hi John,

PS-Drone is not compatible to your Parrots AR.Drone 1.
The base-protocol of AR.Drone and AR.Drone 2.0 are pretty much the same, but NavData have different structures and especially video is VERY different (using e.g. proprietary codecs).

Maybe Venturs project may help you:

Have a great day anyway,

Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about buying a newer version, cause i have some technical issues with this one.

Best regards,
John
