-Before you take this tutorial ,I suggest you to go through the basics of ROS and also to install ROS itself at http://www.ros.org/wiki/. This tutorial uses '''ROS-ELECTRIC and the OS used is Ubuntu 10.10'''. After you downloaded ROS go to http://code.google.com/p/brown-ros-pkg/source/checkout and download the Brown-ros stack which could be done by opening up a terminal and enter:

-==Necessary Packages==
+===== Necessary Packages =====
 Before we go for the test of ARDRONE make sure you have the following packages.In a terminal, type:
- roscd ardrone_brown
+  roscd ardrone_brown
 Make sure you are taken to the respective package's folder if not you have to download the corresponding package.Likewise enter(in the same terminal)
- roscd drone_teleop
+  roscd drone_teleop
- roscd image_view
+  roscd image_view
+===== Making The Package =====
-==Making The Package==
 Now the packages are at place we are going to make it and create a driver file.

 Step 2: In the terminal enter the following commands(one after the other):
- sh build_sdk.sh
+  sh build_sdk.sh
- cmake .
+  cmake .
- rosmake
+  rosmake
 Make sure you receive 0 failures at the end of rosmake.

 Step 3: If everything went well right you should be seeing a driver file named "ardrone_driver" in the bin folder.
-==Interface your computer with the ARDRONE==
+===== Interface your computer with the ARDRONE =====
 Step 1: Switch on the ARDRONE and wait for the led lights on the ardrone to turn green
 Step 2: Open up a terminal(ctrl+alt+T)  and enter :
- roscore
+  roscore
 Step 3:Open up an other terminal and enter:
- rosrun ardrone_brown ardrone_driver
+  rosrun ardrone_brown ardrone_driver
 Step 4: Again in a new terminal enter:
- rosrun drone_teleop drone_teleop.py
+  rosrun drone_teleop drone_teleop.py
 Step 5:Open up a terminal and enter :
-<syntaxhighlight lang="c">
+  rosrun image_view image_view image:=/ardrone/image_raw
- rosrun image_view image_view image:=/ardrone/image_raw
-</syntaxhighlight>
+This should give a video feed from the ardrone
-his should give a video feed from the ardrone
 Step 6: If all of the above steps are successful, you should be able to control the drone using the drone_teleop portal. Here is a video of the ARDRONE being controlled using the Brown ROS package
