#StarstreamDroneGEII-Upgrade2017

##Description of the Project:

The aim of this project is to completely control and monitor the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 quadricopter with an Android device. You have 2 ways to control the drone in this app : via virtual sticks or via a Bluetooth gamepad.

##Status:

The differents goals reached at this point are :

• Controlling the Drone’s movements
• Fetching the different Drone’s sensor data
• Receiving the Drone’s video stream
• Controlling the Drone’s movement using a Bluetooth gamepad (MYON mobile gamepad)

###How to Install:

• Download and unzip “StarstreamDroneGEII-Upgrade2017.zip” into an arbitory directory.
• Open the project in Android Studio, eventually upgrade the Gradle plug-in.
• Compile and download the app on an Android device which is in minimum version 5.0 (API 21).
• Set the limits to middle values (maximum values can causes instability for the drone) and select a pilotage mode (Virtual sticks or BT Gamepad)
• Then press the "Start" button and wait several seconds before landing.
• Enjoy flying the drone!

##Library Dependencies:

Our Project uses following libraries :

• Vitamio : https://github.com/yixia/VitamioBundle Used to handle the Drone’s video stream
