Revision history [back]

Ok, so I ended up with the following setup that I think will work (for now I am getting data properly, and should be able to send it to the drone).

• I have an Ubuntu 16.04 machine with ROS Kinetic installed.
• I have a separate Windows 7 machine with Motive installed.

• Both machines are connected to a netgear nighthawk that is bridging the wifi provided by the AR.Drone 2 that I am using.

• My workflow is using PuTTY to remote control my Ubuntu machine while in windows.

• I used vrpn_client_ros (not to be confused with the outdated ros_vrpn_client) and the instructions on how that worked can be found in my answer to my other question located here:
