The transport is threaded and the session puts an async face on it, so pings and acks are answered whether or not anyone is awaiting a coroutine. Telemetry is stored per key with a timestamp, because a drone that has stopped reporting otherwise reads identically to one repeating itself. Encoding goes through protocol/codec lazily, so this lands without waiting for that stream; the sim carries a small encoder of its own for the events it sends, which also keeps it from agreeing with the client about a shared mistake. Ported from bebop-2's sim.py, retargeted at the vendored XML and with the identity burst now sent per controller attach rather than once per process.
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.
