The format is Parrot's own, from ulogcat/libulogcat_ckcm.c, which was deleted from Parrot-Developers/ulog in 2017; the module docstring cites it and records what the 560 KB capture settles that the source leaves open, notably that this firmware's stamps are monotonic microseconds since boot with no wall clock anywhere. Robustness is the point as much as the layout. The log is live and grew from 445 KB to 560 KB inside a minute, so a fetch landing mid-record is the normal case and ends the parse quietly. The markers are not escaped either, so the lengths are what the parser trusts. Parses the capture to the byte: 5520 entries, no resyncs, no residue.
mcbebop
An MCP server for the Parrot Bebop 2, so an agent can talk to the drone without anyone writing code for each question.
Parrot abandoned the Bebop line, but the aircraft is still a capable, cheap platform and its protocol is fully described by Parrot's own XML, which this package vendors. Every one of the 264 commands is reachable; nothing is hand-wrapped.
Status: in development. Not flight-tested. See the safety section.
What it talks to
| Interface | Notes |
|---|---|
| ARSDK3 over UDP | commands and telemetry; this package implements the protocol directly |
| ARStream2 | live H.264 video. The Bebop 2 serves no RTSP, despite what older libraries assume |
| FTP | media, flight plans, blackbox logs |
| Telnet | read-only shell, only after the drone's debug mode is enabled |
Safety
Commands are classified by consequence. Observing and configuring are open;
anything that can spin a motor or change the flight envelope refuses until
arm() is called with a reason, and re-locks on a timer and on disconnect.
Landing and Emergency are deliberately never locked, because refusing to
land an airborne aircraft is the more dangerous answer.
connect(target="sim") runs everything against a protocol-accurate simulator,
which is where anything involving motion should be rehearsed.
