Using Android tablet's native 3G, 4G or LTE capabilities to control Parrot AR Drone 2.0

Posted by Hamilton From Above on August 31, 2012 at 1:48pm

 

Is anybody working on a kit or a "hack" that would allow a Android tablets or a smart phones native
3G, 4G or LTE radio interface technology to control the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 flight and HD camera
capabilities; thereby supplementing or replacing the Parrots current WiFi radio interface technology.

I presume that a 3G, 4G or LTE radio interface technology would have to be retrofitted into
the Parrots motherboard. Or, perhaps, a device on board the Parrot 2.0 could translate the
3G, 4G or LTE radio interface signal into the Android tablet native WiFi radio interface signal.

    Hello, guys. I was searching for this solution and found the following:

    http://www.ardrone-flyers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=40 - describes how useless this idea is

    http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~spock/skynet/ - finally the possiblity to realise it.

    Wanted to start this project, but there is no 4g in my country. Our 3g is too slow for these purposes.

    THANKS MUNROE: Can I assume that a Wifi or 3G "hack" for the Parrot AR.Drone 2.0
    is more likely to be available on the Android SAMSUNG tablet than the Apple iPad 2
    or New Apple iPad (3) platform? .... Android SAMSUNG seems to be the more "open"
    of the two platforms.

    Thanks Monroe,  I will start searching.

    Do you recall if the "reference" was a single posting, or, a full-fledged, on-going User Group?

    I am looking for off-the-shelf solutions that are plug-and-play.....more or less.
