Intro And Project

Question

Hello all, my name is Ryan, I bought the EZ B v4 unit to try and build a UAV DRONE and I saw that Ez Robot has beat me too it, they built an AR drone 1.0 on the v3 Ez b model, now I'm new to robotics; my question is can I use a AR DRONE 2.0 with the EZ B v4, and control it with my IPhone 5 but run the display through my Recon Jet HUD (still on pre order waiting for it to be released)

I'm currently in a bidding battle on ebay for a 1.0 parrot drone but if any one has had good results with the 2.0 let me know as I would like to use the 2.0 if it's doable.

Thanks guys. Happy modding

Welcome. Currently only the AR Drone V1.0 is natively supported by ARC.

Do you suspect an issue using the B4 rather then B3 when it was done?

The parrot drones are controlled over wifi without anything added onto it. The ar drone 2.0 works with the control commands in ARC such as up, down, left, right etc. The camera stream does not work in ARC. I tapped into it with bad results, but I did see an image. If you put the ez-b V4 on the ar drone 2 you could add sensors and a camera, bearing in mind the very low weight capacity of the ar drone. I am selling mine do to poor battery life but with better batteries it works fine.
