Okay, I want to start hacking a AR Drone.
The developer site at https://projects.ardrone.org/ seems a little outdated. “SDK 2.0.1 Is unavailable at the moment.” – since more than 2 weeks.
However I found a link where I downloaded the SDK. I extracted the Archive, changed into the linux example folder and started the build – That does not succeed the first time, so here is what to do to make that work:
Install missing Packages:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev
Edit the file ARDrone_SDK_2_0_1/ARDroneLib/Soft/Build/custom.makefile, change “USE_LINUX=no” to “USE_LINUX=yes”
Compile the base sdk:
cd ARDrone_SDK_2_0_1/ARDroneLib/Soft/Build
make
Add “GENERIC_LIBS+= -lm” to ARDrone_SDK_2_0_1/Examples/Linux/Navigation/Build/Makefile in line 159 or above.
Then starting the compiling the Example again:
cd ARDrone_SDK_2_0_1/Examples/Linux
make
Everything works. 😉
