Spin not stable #89

Open ghost opened 10 years ago

ghost commented 10 years ago

I tried to use 

$ node repl.js
// Make the drone takeoff
drone> takeoff()
true
// Wait for the drone to takeoff
drone> clockwise(0.5)
0.5
// Let the drone spin for a while
drone> land()
true

The clockwise function cause the drone behave very strange. It doesn't rotate at the original place. Instead there is a huge drift along side with rotation.

I'm noticing this too. Is counterclockwise working alright for you?

Let it spin a while. The problem will occur(CCW & CW). I tired Native AR Drone SDK. It's fine.

I notice AR Drone SDK deprecate some AT commands and use some new ones. Maybe that's the reason?

Do you have a pointer to this? If it's that, it should be easy to fix within this library.
