Help with developing an app like parrot drone.

Hello
Im actually new to this so please it would be kind if someone helped. http://ardrone2.parrot.com/usa/apps/ This is a link for the software i want to develop. I have used the touch osc app and i was working on it when i realized that i wont be able to get a live feed of my camera to my android phone. If someone could help me guide me where to start which examples to use. It would be a great help to somehow develop an app that could send wireless commands and even wireless video to a arduino supported software like processing. The same way touch osc does. It would be great help Thank you.

Hi. What a cool project!

I'm not familiar with the AR.Drone, but what I would do myself is to have a look at another application like [AR.Drone WebFlight](https://github.com/eschnou/ardrone-webflight) and then modify that into a mobile app. By glancing at the code I see they use websockets to connect to the AR.Drone and for example stream the video from its camera, and websockets should work straight away in an app developed using Evothings Studio. But the app is made for node.js so there has to be other modifications made, for example right now it's made like a server but that isn't needed when it's made like a mobile app.

If you will only fly the drone in proximity of your computer and a wi-fi network you could install AR.Drone WebFlight on your computer and point your mobile device's browser to it.

There're many other options, but what do you think about the one above?

Thank you Eric for your reply.
Ok i think your idea is better. I will look into this software and try to modify it into an app. If you could please tell me which examples to look at to achieve this? Or sites or projects? So that i could modify this into a mobile app?

Not sure if this is of any help, but here is a project that uses an Evothings app for controlling the Bionic Bird:
