DroneQuest is a collaborative project between students of Codefellows JavaScript 401 and Python 401 classes. The Python portion of this project allows users to connect any controller they want to an API endpoint and send commands to an AR Parrot Drone. The Javascript portion is an interactive locally hosted web page, allowing the user to control the drone and see feedback from it.
=======
- Create a python-based API that will communicate with a front-end server
- Send useful drone information to a front-end user interface
- Create a module that anyone with a drone can pip install, then use to control their personal drone
- Connect a Leap Motion Controller to control the drone
- Send commands via the front-end web application we have created
- Use VR goggles that will connect to the drone cameras

Point an http post request to 127.0.0.1:3000/do/<command> to instruct the drone. Check out our API Endpoints Wiki Page for a list of commands.
We used Bastian Venthur's Useful Github Repo, which was later improved by Jonathan Hunt and Adrian Taylor.
In addition, a very useful tutorial can be found here.
This project was built with
- Luc Ho (JavaScript)
- Kevin Sulonen (JavaScript)
- Norton Pengra (Python)
- Will Weatherford (Python)
- Munir Ibrahim (Python)
This software was tested with the following setups:
- Python 2.6.6
- Python 2.7.6 (better setup)
- Python 3.5 (only Leap Motion API is incompatible)
- Psyco 1.6 (recommended)
- Pygame 1.8.1 (only for the demo)
