Hello All,
I'm a new developer for Inter drone.
My task is to control the drone to fly by my program( running on Ubuntu 14.04/C++/connected drone by wifi) rather than by remote control transmitter.
I do not need to change the original code of the drone.
So, would you like give me some suggestions?
1) Where can I find the documents and examples?
1) How can I simulate the program in my computer?
Thanks.

Hello philipbinbin,
Thank you for your interest in the Intel® Aero Ready to Fly Drone.
The information that is available regarding controlling the drone via coding is focused on Python and not C++. The reason behind this has to do with the various libraries available. For more information on this matter, please check the following link: https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/04-Autonomous-drone-programming-in-Python.
I also suggest you to take a look at this community thread: https://communities.intel.com/message/458890# 458890 https://communities.intel.com/message/458890# 458890, various useful comments, examples and links are shared by community members Soubhi and intel_jassowski.
There is an article related to simulating with the Aero Compute Board that you may find interesting:

Please let me know if you find this information useful.
Have a nice day.

Thank you Andres V.
I found the following sentences in the link: https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/04-Autonomous-drone-programming-in-Python https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/04-Autonomous-drone-programming-in-Python.
"But the choice is yours. You have access to the board as root and can code in the language of your choice. We also document C/C++ programming following the Yocto Project methods, as it may be interesting for production embedded engineers."
Does it means that I can use Yocto Project methods(C/C++) to control the RTF?

Hello Bin,
Yes, you can use those methods, but that hasn't been documented, that is why I suggested using Python.
But if you decide to use C/C++ programming, we will appreciate if you share your findings with the community.
If you have any other update or question, don't hesitate to contact us.
Have a nice day.
Regards,
Andres V.

Hello Andres,
Thank you for your helpful information.
Sure, I will appreciate to share my experience when I finish coding with C/C++.
Wishes,
Bin
