Parrot Disco without SC2 only on LTE

I just want to have fun with Parrot Disco and I need something new :)

Parrot Hardware & Software details

C.H.U.C.K

• Connecting to ZeroTier network on startup
• Don't need to initialize WiFi to 4G reconnect, it's ready out of the box
• Don't need to modify software (but we will probably need to do this if we want to start flight plan instead of auto landing on connection lost - we want to land precisely using flight plan with linear landing, I don't know if it possible)
• ARStream2 is streaming FROM disco to SC2. You need to initialize the stream. Default video ports 55004 and 55005 are CLOSED on Disco! You can't connect to them.
• Discover port 44444 used to sending controller name, id and stream ports
• Control UDP port 54321 (used to receive control actions from SC2)
• Parrot Disco ID 090e

SkyController 2

• Control UDP port 43210 or 9988 (used to receive events from disco)
• Triggering video stream on :7711/video
• ADB available on port 9050

FreeFlight Pro Android App

• We can modify it using APK Easy Tool and edit some code in Smali

WWW as SC2 details

• Video feed using proxy server (with ffmpeg) using webrtc.
• Control using proxy server with webrtc.
• Live map with Disco and all flight parameters

Roadmap

• ✔️ Gather all possible information in this repository to know if it will be possible at all.
• ✔️ Learn how to receive all parameters (battery, altitude, etc.)
• ✔️ Create website that will display all the needed informations and could control the API
• ✔️ If possible (due to weather) make test flight with starting flight plan from www and test video stream & camera control latency
• ✔️ Modify website as needed (component size, arrangement, etc.)
• ✔️ Make another test flight with flight plan
• ✔️ Add the rest of the functionality under control (mainly stick control, the throttle is unnecessary at this stage)
• ✔️ Make first manual test flight
• ✔️ Connect some gamepad for better control
• ✔️ Make another manual flight to test gamepad
• ✔️ Create new dashboard for better view and arrangement
• TBA...

TODO IN 2023

• ✔️ Add icon on top navbar for camera settings, show modal with settings on click
• Automatic camera exposure relative to sun function
• Show modal on click on gamepad icon
• Add permissions icon on top navbar, show modal on click
• ✔️ Add autonomous icon on top navbar, show modal on click
• Create view for VR (with some parameters overlay if possible)
• Connect SkyAware to show other planes with low AGL on the map (on dashboard and global map)
• Add table on global map to show parrots parameters
• ✔️ Create disco auto following autonomous function
• Create camera automatic pointing to other disco
• Implement "Click on map and fly to this point" function
• Create "no fly" zones (cities, etc)
• Create blackbox to save all parameters during flight (csv file with timestamp)
• Create software to read blackbox files
• ✔️ Automatic circular landing cancelling on connection recovery
• Add flightplan icon on top navbar with flightplan modal on click
• Create flightplan controller for creating flightplans and running it
• Automatic checking for "landing" flightplan during first connect
• ✔️ Add settings icon on top navbar, show modal with global settings on click
