Swarm of Crazyflies

Post by lucasmmedino »

Hi guys,

I would like to launch multiple crazyflies using ROS. What would be the best way to approach this? As of now, for me to launch multiple crazyflies I need to create multiple nodes for each crazy flie on my launch file, I would like to do it more efficiently. My set up uses Vicon.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can find an example here: https://github.com/whoenig/crazyflie_ro ... con.launch
While that uses multiple nodes, those are short-living (and therefore do not take much resources except at startup). The actual work is done in a single node called the crazyflie_server. This has been tested for up to 6 CFs.

Best,
Wolfgang
