Waterloo Labs Episode 8 - Science Fair Mash Up - Start Trigger with Parrot AR.Drone and LeapMotion Leap

[MilanR]

Overview
This LabVIEW interface allows one to display the height of the palm on a slider and display the X,Y hand position over time on an XY graph by simulating AR drone with Leap Motion controller. 

Description
This LabVIEW interface allows one to display the height of the palm on a slider and display the X,Y hand position over time on an XY graph by simulating AR drone with Leap Motion controller. 

Requirements

• LabVIEW 2012 or later
• JKI Package Manager for LabVIEW 2012
• Parrot AR.Drone Toolkit for LabVIEW from LabVIEW Hackers
• LeapMotion Leap SDK (optional, the example will simulate a Leap by default)
• Parrot AR.Drone v1 or v2 (only v2 can perform animations)
• LeapMotion Leap (optional, the example will simulate a Leap by default)

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

1. Download and install the JKI package manager if you have not done so already
2. Install the AR.Drone Toolkit from LabVIEW Hacker
3. Make sure the AR.Drone is powered on, wirelessly connected to your computer, and functional [hint: try and run an example included with the Parrot AR.Drone toolkit]
4. Download and extract the attached example. WLL-Leap-AR Controller.vi is the Main VI for the application.
