Hey there @magnus! Here's our YouTube channel. We showcase some of the R&D we're doing on the YouTube channel, such as the updated library, the computer vision we're still developing, etc. We also have our weekly webinars on our Facebook page here hosted by the awesome Dir. of Education, @robolink_kristen, where we talk about many of the issues that come up, and how to troubleshoot them, or about the interesting things we've been working on. We're definitely open to community contributed videos too! If you'd like to also submit your own content or projects, our Basecamp page allows for users to post their own projects, too! Hopefully that's helpful!

Here is the modification I did unsigned long CoDroneClass::BattleReceive() { Receive(); if(irMassageReceive > 0) { if(team == TEAM_RED) { if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE) { BattleDamageProcess(); } } else if(team == TEAM_BLUE) { if(irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE) { BattleDamageProcess(); } } else if(team == TEAM_GREEN) { if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE) { BattleDamageProcess(); } } else if(team == TEAM_YELLOW) { if(irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_MISSILE) { BattleDamageProcess(); } } else if(team == FREE_PLAY) { if(irMassageReceive == RED_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == BLUE_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == GREEN_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == YELLOW_MISSILE || irMassageReceive == FREE_PLAY) { BattleDamageProcess(); } } unsigned long returnIRMSG = irMassageReceive; irMassageReceive = 0; return returnIRMSG; } } and then in the main arduino code I call CoDrone.BattleShooting(); unsigned long irmsg = CoDrone.BattleReceive(); CoDrone.Send_LinkModeBroadcast(LinkModeMute); delay(200); Serial.println("-----------"); Serial.println(irmsg); Serial.println("-----------"); delay(200); CoDrone.Send_LinkModeBroadcast(LinkBroadcast_Active); I have the Drone shoot a wall so the IR code can bounce off. Let me know if this helps.

Thank you, @magnus! Those color setting functions still exist! We just haven't listed them out, since we're trying to focus on the new set of functions. However, we'll most likely be including the legacy functions and explicitly call them out, still.

Hello @magnus I am currently in the process of making a video on how to find the specific BLE address once I finish that video I will link you directly to it. We are also working on changing the Arduino code to not try to pair with any other CoDrone if it fails to find the one it was given the address to.

The optical flow camera is a black and white pixel camera pointing straight down, it works by measuring the moving black and white pixels to determine "flow". If the camera was maybe facing forwards we could maybe do obstacle avoidance, but it would really hard as most optical flow cameras have really low resolution and objects are barely visible. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Of course, glad to help out. Let me know if you have any other questions @magnus

Awsome. Thanks! I think I'll go for some other solution

@robolink_wes I have tried your new lib and it works as expected. I was going through the cpp-file to get the latest methods. We managed this week and will have another go in two weeks after easter. Perhaps the docs will be ready by then? Was really fun to use the goToHeight function. Work kinda nice. Seems that a calibration when landing could be good.

Those features as add-ons would be amazing! The drone does seem to have a bit of anti-collision for stuff below it via the optical flow sensor, although I don't think that is it's exact purpose (I think it's meant to stabilize flight). I sometimes put my hand under the drone while it's flying and act like I'm pushing it up by lifting my hand towards it but never actually touching the drone.
