mambo-angular-service

Angular Service to control Parrot Mambo drone

Examples of usage

First import MamboService in your ngModule then inject it in the component where you need to use it.

You can MamboService to search for nearby drones. The search will pop up a search modal in the browser, allowing the user to select a device to connect to. When that happens the search returns the connected drone.

this.mamboService.search().then(drone => this.drone = drone)

Then use drone's connect$ Observable to get notified when the connection has been fully established. Also the connect$ completion indicates that the connection has been terminated.

this.drone.connection$
.subscribe(
  () => this.ready,
  err => console.error('Something went wrong: ' + JSON.stringify(err)),
  () => {
    alert('Drone is no longer connected');
    this.drone = null;
    this.ready = false;
  }
);

Once the drone is ready you can make the drone take off and land with the follownig calls:

this.drone.takeOff();
this.drone.land();

By default every 100ms the Drone object sends flight parameters to the Mambo drone. You can provide the flight params by using the following functions:

• setRoll
• setPitch
• setYaw
• setAltitude
• updateFlightParams

Please note that the values that are expected should be in a range from -1 to 1.

Just remember, if you set any of the flight params, the Drone object will send this value to the Mambo drone every 100ms, until you set it 0. If you intend for the drone to fly forward for some time you can call it like this:

this.drone.setPitch(0.5);
setInterval(() => this.drone.setPitch(0), 500 );

API

MamboService

search(): Promise

• Runs a bluetooth scan, this triggers a search pop up in the browser for the user to select a device. Once that is done, search returns a promise with the selected Drone object.

Drone

takeOff()

• Instructs the drone to take off

land()

• Instructs the drone to land

updateFlightParams(roll: number, pitch: number, yaw: number, altitude: number)

• Sets the roll, pitch, yaw and altitude of drone's flight params in one go
• @param roll turn speed, expected value from -1 (move left) to 1 (move right)
• @param pitch turn speed, expected value from -1 (move back) to 1 (move forward)
• @param yaw turn speed, expected value from -1 (turn counter-clocwise) to 1 (turn clocwise)
• @param altitude turn speed, expected value from -1 (move down) to 1 (move up)

setRoll(roll)

• Sets the roll speed of drone's flight params
• @param roll turn speed, expected value from -1 (move left) to 1 (move right)

setPitch(pitch)

• Sets the pitch of drone's flight params
• @param pitch turn speed, expected value from -1 (move back) to 1 (move forward)

setYaw(yaw: number)

• Sets the turn speed of drone's flight params
• @param yaw turn speed, expected value from -1 (turn counter-clocwise) to 1 (turn clocwise)

setAltitude(altitude)

• Sets the altitude of drone's flight params
• @param altitude turn speed, expected value from -1 (move down) to 1 (move up)

setMaxAltitude(maxAltitude: number): Promise<any>

• Sets the drone's altitude limitation
• @param {Integer} altitude the altitude in meters (2m-10m for Airborne Cargo / 2m - 25m for Mambo)

setMaxTilt(maxTilt: number): Promise<any>

• Sets the drone's max tilt limitation
• @param {integer} tilt The max tilt from 0-100 (0 = 5° - 100 = 20°)

setMaxVerticalSpeed(maxVerticalSpeed: number): Promise<any>

• Sets the drone's max vertical speed limitation
• @param {integer} verticalSpeed The max vertical speed from 0.5m/s - 2m/s

setMaxRotationSpeed(maxRotationSpeed: number): Promise<any>

• Sets the drone's max rotation speed limitation
• @param {integer} tilt The max rotation speed from (50°-360° for Airborne Cargo / 50° - 180° for Mambo)

fire()

• Instructs the drone to fire the cannon
