Cylon.js (http://cylonjs.com) is a JavaScript framework for robotics and physical computing using Node.js
This module provides an adaptor and drivers for the ARDrone 2.0 from Parrot (http://ardrone2.parrot.com/). It uses the node-ar-drone module (https://github.com/felixge/node-ar-drone) created by @felixge thank you!

Installing cylon.js with ardrone support is pretty easy.
npm install cylon cylon-ardrone
var Cylon = require('cylon');
Cylon.robot({
connections: {
ardrone: { adaptor: 'ardrone', port: '192.168.1.1' }
},
devices: {
drone: { driver: 'ardrone' }
},
work: function(my) {
my.drone.takeoff();
after((10).seconds(), function() {
my.drone.land();
});
after((15).seconds(), function() {
my.drone.stop();
});
}
}).start();The ARDrone is a WiFi device, so there is no additional work to establish a connection to a single drone. However, in order to connect to multiple drones, you need to perform some configuration steps on each drone via SSH.
We're busy adding documentation to our web site at http://cylonjs.com/ please check there as we continue to work on Cylon.js
