Easiest way to control the DJI Phantom or other user friendly as possible quad via software?

Hello!

I am working on this project, where i have learned how to control an AR drone, using a simple script language commands that i found in a robotics development tool. All i have to do, is open that robotics development software environment in my PC and execute a set of simple commands, such as up/ down /takeoff /forward etc... with each command having the amount of time to act indicated in milliseconds.

Now, my problem is that i discovered that the AR drone is not strong enough to handle the payload for my project. I understood that the DJI Phantom can handle 2-3 time more weight. But i also know that there are many other types of quads. 2-3 times more payload (350-700 grams) would be good enough for me.

What i care about is that it would be the easiest way - no kits, but already assembled, no sophisticated programming languages or electronics or stick control but a simple script language executed as a batch file from my PC desktop.

My project includes flying in a limited closed space, with no obstacles around, so i am really not interested in learning how to fly the drone to great altitudes or distances or how to get to be a more sophisticated or advanced quadcopter flyer, I am very project task oriented here.
What would be the best quadcopter choice for such needs?

Is there any way that i can control the DJI Phantom or other assembled quads with about the same payload, to easily make such simple moves executed as a batch of simple script commands via a PC?

Thanks a lot!
 
Jason! Thanks a lot!

I might get back to you one of these days, to understand more about the possibilities that the quads you build offer.

I am checking now a much smaller (weaker) quad, but there is a good chance that i will need to upgrade to the scale you are referring to, in the near future and my impressions is, that the DJ Phantom is not necessarily the best choice!
