ArDrone 1.0 / 2.0 firmware batch downloader

Since the Parrot website's support page is down for the ArDrone 1.0 / 2.0 amazing toys, I made this tool to extract all firmware as plf files, from any version to any version.

Thereby, I'm now able to test different versions, and chose the one that offers the greater flight stability.

Install

git clone https://github.com/rascafr/ardrone-batch-firmware-downloader.git
cd ardrone-batch-firmware-downloader
npm i

Configuration

Edit the config.js file as you wish:

module.exports = {

    // where to save the firmware files
    outPath: `${process.cwd()}/FIRMWARE_FILES`,

    // ar drone 1.0 or 2.0?
    ardroneVersion: 2,

    // from 1.x.x to 3.x.x
    majorFrom: 1,
    majorTo: 3,

    // from x.0.x to x.10.x
    minorFrom: 0,
    minorTo: 10,

    // from x.x.0 to x.x.20
    patchFrom: 0,
    patchTo: 20,

    // repository url function generator to use
    repository: (x, y, z) => `http://.../ardronefirmware/${x}.${y}.${z}/ardrone${module.exports.ardroneVersion}_update.plf`
}

Warning: The outPath directory will be deleted before downloading the files, so don't set it just to Desktop or anything like that...

Run it!

npm start

Download progress will be shown as plf files are found, and if yes, downloaded onto your laptop in the ardrone-batch-firmware-downloader directory.
