I rigged some nice bright LEDs on my AR.Drone for night flying. It works great! Makes for a very cool "ground effect", plus it helps the downward facing cam lock on for stabilization.

Re: Night Flight
If you plug your LEDs to the LEDs on 4 motors, you can make an app on iPhone to do LED animations using AT commands AT*LED:
Code: Select all
Corresponding API function : ardrone_at_set_led_animation
Syntax : AT*LED=%d,%d,%d,%d<LF>
Argument 1 : the sequence number
Argument 2 : integer - animation to play
Argument 3 : frequence in Hz of the animation
Argument 4 : integer - total duration in seconds of the animation (animation is
played (durationfrequence times)
Description :
This command makes the four motors leds blink with a predetermined sequence.
Re: Night Flight
Hi awesome mod, thanks so much for sharing. Sorry to sound stupid, but when I go to the page http://besthongkong.com/index.php?cPath=21_71" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ... there are a bunch of lights on that page with different cms (lengths) ...
is this what you got: http://besthongkong.com/product_info.ph ... cts_id=463" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
confused if the lights come in a kit with all four/five colors, or if I have to buy each one separately.
Thanks for the help!
