		+	=== Interfacing with A.R.Drone ===
		+
		+	To try the A.R.Drone for the first time it is advisable to download the SDK from the developer site, compile what inside the Examples/Linux, if you are using the robot from Linux, and run the ardrone_navigation binary. To test the flying mode of the drone with a gamepad you have to make some changes inside the source code of the ardrone_navigation before using it.
		+
		+	# Connect the gamepad to the computer.
		+	# From terminal write lsusb and read the gamepad address.
		+	# Write the gamepad address inside Examples/Linux/Navigation/UI/gamepad.h, where the GAMEPAD_LOGITECH_ID constant is defined.
		+	# Compile again.
		+
		+	Now your gamepad is paired with the application and you can use it to fly the A.R.Drone. If you are using one of the logitech gamepad in the lab, this should be the main function associated with the button.
		+
		+	# BUTTON 9 -> Activate the drone (led switch from red to green).
		+	# BUTTON 10 -> take off/land the drone.
		+	# BUTTON 4 -> up
		+	# BUTTON 2 -> down
		+	# BUTTON 4 -> yaw (clockwise?)
		+	# BUTTON 5 -> yaw (counterclockwise?)

		+	For more information on how to change button functions, please refer to the official documentation.
