Welcome to the AR.<strong>Drone</strong> Software Development Kit !<br />
The AR.<strong>Drone</strong> product and the provided host interface example have innovative and exciting<br />
features such as:<br />

and configure an AR.<strong>Drone</strong> product;<br />
• the AR.<strong>Drone</strong> Tool (AR<strong>Drone</strong>Tool ) library, which provides a fully functionnal drone<br />
client where developers only have to insert their custom application specific code;<br />
