Step 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Setup your computer to accept software from ROS site. For this open the terminal in your computer and type:<\/p>\n

sudo sh -c 'echo \"deb http:\/\/packages.ros.org\/ros\/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main\" > \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/ros-latest.list'<\/span> <\/small><\/pre>\n
Enter password and follow to the next step.<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Also in the terminal type:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp:\/\/ha.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-key 421C365BD9FF1F717815A3895523BAEEB01FA116<\/small><\/span><\/pre>\n
This will set up the keys for the download.<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong><\/p>\n
First, make sure your Debian package index is up-to-date:<\/span><\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update<\/small><\/span><\/pre>\n
After this you can install ROS Kinetic by typing:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-desktop\r\n<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n
Step 4:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Initialize rosdep, update it and setup the environment (each line is a different input for the terminal):<\/p>\n
sudo rosdep init<\/small>\r\n<\/span>rosdep update<\/small>echo \"source \/opt\/ros\/kinetic\/setup.bash\" >> ~\/.bashrc\r\n<\/span>source ~\/.bashrc\r\n<\/small><\/span><\/pre>\n
 Step 5:<\/strong><\/p>\n
Open the terminal and open .bashrc using the command:<\/p>\n
gedit ~\/.bashrc<\/small><\/span><\/pre>\n
Go to the end of the document and add the line:<\/p>\n
source\/opt\/ros\/kinetic\/setup.bash\r\n<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n
Save it and exit gedit, close terminal and open a new one. Install catkin and build the workspace by following the following lines:<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get install ros-kinetic-catkin\r\ncd\r\nmkir -p ~catkin_ws\/src\r\ncd ~\/catkin_ws\r\ncatkin_make\r\ngedit \/.bashrc\r\n<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n
Add the line at the end of the document, each to be saved in different lines:<\/p>\n
source ~\/catkin_ws\/devel\/setup.bash\r\nexport ROS_PACKAGE_PATH = ~\/catkin_ws:$ROS_PACKAGE_PATH\r\n<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n
Save and exit the terminal and open a new one, type:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install git\r\ncd ~\/catkin_ws\/src\r\ngit clone https:\/\/github.com\/AutonomyLab\/ardrone_autonomy\r\ncd ..\r\nrosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src\r\ncatkin_make\r\ncatking_ws\/src\r\ncatkin_create_pkg insert_name_here std_msgs rospy roscpp cv_bridge\r\n<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n
Copy and paste the following code into a code editor and save it as “dronelaunch.launch” to your package (it should be a folder in your computer):<\/p>\n
<launch>\r\n<arg name=\"droneip\" default=\"192.168.1.1\"><\/arg>\r\n<node name=\"ardrone_driver\" pkg=\"ardrone_autonomy\" type=\"ardrone_driver\" output=\"screen\" args=\"-ip $(arg droneip)\">\r\n<param name=\"navdata_demo\" value=\"False\" \/><param name=\"realtime_navdata\" value=\"True\" \/><param name=\"realtime_video\" value=\"True\" \/><param name=\"looprate\" value=\"30\" \/><\/node>\r\n<\/launch>\r\n<\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n
Before testing your code on your drone you must:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Connect your computer to ardrone wifi<\/li>\n
  2. Run roscore on one terminal (just type that on the terminal) this initializes ros framework<\/li>\n
  3. On another terminal write:\n
     roslaunch your_folder_name <\/span><\/small><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
