Drone autolands #109

Closed dennn closed 9 years ago

dennn commented 9 years ago

I'm having an issue with an AR Drone 2.0 where it'll auto land after a few seconds and then all the LEDs will be red. The timeline of events is:

  1. Turn on the drone. It calibrates the motors and all LEDs turn green
  2. Connect to the drone's wifi network
  3. Create a client using this library
  4. Execute a takeoff() command
  5. Drone takes off
  6. I'd expect the drone to hover, but instead it just lands after a few seconds

Any advice for what I may be doing wrong?

Turns out it was a battery issue, I've replaced the battery with a spare we had around and it's working fine now.
