ARDrone SDK - Developer_Guide

95

The example is basic one which simply hangs by saying "Connection timeout" if no connection
is possible. Check the network connectivity and restart the application if such thing happens.
The video window does not respond if no video is received from the drone. Close the console
window to close the application, or deport the SDL window management code from the video
processing thread to an independent thread.
