QGround Control is a free software package available in Open Source under Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. It allows you to create your own flight plans with multiple intermediate points in 3 dimensions. Dthe AR.Drone will follow this aerial route automatically. In addition, a team at the Delft University of Technology integrated the open source high end autopilot software, paparazzi, in the AR.Drone hardware. There is no need to change the AR.Drone hardware but only to plug in the Parrot Flight Recorder. Next step is to have a laptop with paparazzi on it, to connect the laptop wifi to the AR.Drone, to launch paparazzi and to click on "compile" so that the software will be put on the AR.Drone. view larger Technical Specifications Dimensions: 77.7 x 38.3 x 12.5mm Dimensions: 77.7 x 38.3 x 12.5mm Weight: 31g Weight: 31g Accuracy: +/- 2 meters Accuracy: +/- 2 meters Frequency: 5Hx Frequency: 5Hx Voltage: 3.3V TBC Voltage: 3.3V TBC Time To First Fix: 25s maximum Time To First Fix: 25s maximum 4GB Flash memory (allows 2 hours of video to be recorded) 4GB Flash memory (allows 2 hours of video to be recorded) USB Port: Comprises one type A female USB port to connect a USB key drive USB Port: Comprises one type A female USB port to connect a USB key drive WARNING: This GPS receiver can only be used with the AR.Drone 2.0.
