Documentation feedback

[ghost]

Hi! This is a great project, thank you for making this code freely available on the internet.

I've been writing a robot demonstration using the /tum_ardrone/com topic to send commands to drone_autopilot to make them swarm together at a target. I noticed a few things missing from the documentation along the way, and I thought I should let you know.

• The command c start needs to be sent on the topic in order to turn the autopilot on. Without this, it won't start executing any of the /tum_ardrone/com commands.
• Is there a way of resetting the PTAM through /tum_ardrone/com?
• is there a command to make the drones hover nicely on the spot like in the demonstration video? http://youtu.be/eznMokFQmpc

One final thing, I forked the project and updated it for ROS Groovy, if you're interested? https://github.com/jennyhasahat/tum_ardrone

Hello, Regarding the catkin support, could you check the recent hydro-devel branch and compare with your version? You could then suggest any improvement you may have done...

Regarding the documentation of /tum_adrone/com, the documentation must be ENTIRELY redone, which is on my TODO list :)

for the doc, you can now modify the README.md file and propose a pull request
