AR Drone 2.0 - Install Script Help

travisdh1

@hobbit666 Most drones have a usb port that's actually a usb to serial adapter on the control board. So try hooking it up with a usb and seeing if you can telnet onto the drone.

Could be that the install script will make any updates/changes needed on the drone if it's already plugged in, but I don't have the time to look at the code this afternoon to check.

Latestest update is I've found how to upload the files Via FTP.
So I just need to set-up the Access Point and run the install and connect command

Next to work out how to run the connect command on boot up

Got the files on but can't run.

env: bash: No such file or directory

Is BASH missing?

Wonder if you can do it using windows 10's bash..

But its seems pretty simple linux script, just run it..

It uploads 3 files and moves them to /bin and makes them executable.

Windows 10 BASH is useless. It's isolated from the OS.

@scottalanmiller That sucks. Easy enough to spin up a vm just to do this.

Thats what I was thinking but not had time too look through the scripts lol might try later or tomorrow at work

Well moved the files into bin folder but still not working, if i run script/connect blah blah still get
env: bash: No such file or directory

Just can't find any good guides on how to do it step by step.

Yeah. It's really awful how totally useless the Ubuntu environment is on Windows.

tiagom

@scottalanmiller hopefully they improve it in the future.

@hobbit666 What are you doing to get the error.

Are you trying to run it on windows?

hobbit666

Well I don't know thats the issue lol
I telnet to the drone and get a busybox prompt if I run ls it shows a Linux type structure so in placed some files in bin and others in a folder called script.

Then run

Script/install
Script/connect

Both give the error.

Not sure if I need to install something else or custom firmware etc.

hobbit666

Just wondering from looking at the scripts should I be running this on a Linux machine

As the install looks like it FTP's the files for me?
Might be worth a shot tomorrow at work install ubuntu on spare laptop

tiagom

The scripts are to be run from a computer.

The scripts specify the drones ip..

DRONEIP=${1:-"192.168.1.1"}

Doesn't make sense to specify it if it was suppose to run locally on the drone.

Yeah now I look at it makes more sense lol. Will install a desktop Linux distro tomorrow and try.
