GPS coordonate

[SebArola]

Hi, I'm currently using your API to control a bebop 2 and I would like to get the gps coordonate from the drone, do you know how can I do this ? I figured out that I will have to use the command parser and the ardrone3.xml but I don't know exactly how. Thanks, Sebastien

any information that the sensors are sending back (including the GPS info) is in the bebop.sensors.sensors_dict. You don't need to parse it yourself.

Ok I'm gonna try with that, thanks.

Dear Amy, I'm dealing with the reading of bebop2 sensors from the Sphinx simulator. Finally I managed to get sensors info from the dictionary as shown below. I'd like to ask you about the meaning of the input argument 'args' within the sensor callback function ( _bebop.set_user_sensorcallback(function, args)). Which type of optional arguments may I enter within such function? Many thanks in Advance, Roverico!

self.bebop.set_user_sensor_callback(self.sensors_update, None) def sensors_update(self, args):

That allows you to make input arguments to your own callback functions
