Is it possible to control a DJI Phantom 3 from Ubuntu with ROS?

[João Cartucho]

Hey! I'm a newbie in DJI Phantom and I asked this question in stackoverflow but apparently they didn't like it and thumbed down. So I decided to try asking you directly:

I wanted to control my DJI Phantom 3 from ROS in Ubuntu with the data obtained from the IMU and video camera, but I don't know how establish the communication in the first place. Is it possible to control it via WiFi? I know that it exists an SDK for android but I haven't found one for Ubuntu.

I can only say in almost 2 years of reading a good number of posts here I have never seen anyone post anything in that OS.
seeing they(DJI) do nothing with windows I would guess that would be true for Ubunto as well

good luck and have fun flying!

however you end up doing it!
