Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Node-RED node to control the Parrot AR Drone

Readme

Parrot AR.Drone Node for Node-RED

This node lets you control the Parrot AR.Drone from Node-RED. It provides a wrapper around the existing Node.js library.

Installation

Install with npm.

Usage

This module provides both input and output nodes for the drone.

The output node will execute the string received on msg.payload as the function call on the client API, e.g. takeoff, land, up, down. Command parameters can be sent on the msg.command_options field, either as a single value or an array. This node also supports these additional commands.

  • photo - take a picture using drone camera (returned as a Buffer).
  • location - current GPS coordatinates.
  • status - telemetry data from drone.

The input node publishes data that comes back from the drone. All existing client events, data streams for pictures, telemetry and gps are published, along with command responses for photo, location and status. Event name is set on msg.payload and msg.data contains the response. This node can be configured to ignore and delay event messages using the editor panel.
