Ardupilot Mega 2.0 program

Help me please... guys..Smiley Sad I am trying to create a program whereby I need to use the ardupilot mega 2.0 and its GPS system to navigate my AR.Drone. I need to create a program where it shows the reading of the board like where it is exactly at on a world map and also put a specific route for the AR.drone to follow on the map. After that , I am going to place the board on my AR.drone. However, I don't know where to start. It would be good if anyone has any example for me to start from.

 

*Please don't ask me to do the basic exercises of labview. I have already done those. Thanks in advance.Smiley Sad APM2.jpgMT3329022.jpg

If you are placing this board on your drone. How are you going to communicate with the computer that will run the LabVIEW program. 

 

Alsthi you also know that you cannot use LabVIEW to program the board.  Unless that board has a microcontroller that LabVIeW can target with the microco ntroller SDK and you have access to it.

Ok. If you are using Wifimhow far aid your drone flying away from the base station?  I think you will need to have another wifi board (www.sparkfun.com) and read TCP messages that is sent from your drone regarding its position. You will also amend the drone commands via this. Ndeep this sounds you this project requires programming in at least to languages. (LabVIEW) for the host application and what another program that will run on you drone.

What i mean is "If you are using Wifi, how far is your drone flying away from the base station?"
