Hi Mani, I'm in need of this information urgently. Is there anywhere (in the code or in the SDK docs for example) we can find it or derive it?

Thanks for your help.

I've updated the documentation to indicate how different components of the cmd_vel topic affect the different degrees of the Bebop: Sending Commands to Bebop — bebop_autonomy indigo-devel documentation

You can also take a look at the following package as an example of how to control the velocity of the Bebop using these mappings (and a simplified dynamic model): AutonomyLab/bebop_vel_ctrl: Velocity controller for Parrot Bebop Drone (ROS package)

I will update the docs soon with more information about this dynamic model.

Hello Mani, I would like to control the speed of the bebop. So I used AutonomyLab/bebop_vel ctrl package. I want to run the drone consistently at 0.3m/s. The speed is measured and the error is 0.1 to 0.6 m/s. So I think I'm using the package wrong. Could you tell me how to use it?
