Visual Servoing Platform  version 3.3.0 under development (2020-02-17)
keyboardControlBebop2.cpp

example showing how to setup keyboard control of Parrot Bebop 2 drone.

WARNING: this program does no sensing or avoiding of obstacles, the drone WILL collide with any objects in the way! Make sure the drone has about 3-4 meters of free space around it before starting the program.

This program makes the drone controllable with a keyboard, with display of the video streaming.
