CONTROL:flying_mode
Read/Write
Description :
Since 1.5.1 firmware, the AR.Drone has two different flight modes. The first is the legacy
FreeFlight mode, where the user controls the drone, an a new semi-autonomous mode, called
"HOVER_ON_TOP_OF_ROUNDEL", where the drones will hover on top of a ground tag, and
won’t respond to the progressive commands. This new flying mode was developped for 2011
CES autonomous demonstration.
Note : This mode is experimental, and should be used with care. The roundel (cocarde) detection and
this flying mode are subject to changes without notice in further firmwares.
Note : Roundel detection must be activated with the DETECT:detect_type setting if you want to
use the "HOVER_ON_TOP_OF_ROUNDEL" mode.
Note : Enum with modes can be found in the ardrone_api.h file.
AT command example : AT*CONFIG=605,"control:flying_mode","0"
API use example :
ARDRONE_TOOL_CONFIGURATION_ADDEVENT (flying_mode, FLYING_MODE_FREE_-
FLIGHT, myCallback);

The parameter is a string containing the animation number and its duration, separated with a

Note : The MAYDAY_TIMEOUT array contains defaults durations for each flight animations.
AT command example : AT*CONFIG=605,"control:flight_anim","3,2"
API use example :
char param[20];
snprintf (param, sizeof (param), "%d,%d", ARDRONE_ANIMATION_YAW_SHAKE,
MAYDAY_TIMEOUT[ARDRONE_ANIMATION_YAW_SHAKE]);
ARDRONE_TOOL_CONFIGURATION_ADDEVENT (flight_anim, param, myCallback);
