Questions before buying lightouse
Posted: Fri May 29, 2020 2:50 pm
Hi,
I'm a student working on a research project about flying a swarm (~9) of crazyflies. I'm currently using the LPS deck to get the position of the CFs. However, since I'm working from my apartment I currently only have access to 4 anchors and the position isn't very accurate. I looked at the Lightouse and it seems like it could help me get a better accuracy. However, I have a few questions before buying:
1 - Is the position obtained using the LH deck better than using the LPS with 4 anchors? with 8 anchors?
2 - Is there a limit to the maximum number of CF that can fly at the same time using the LH deck?
3 - If I understand correctly, I would need 2 base station and one lighthouse deck per CF. Do I also need the VIVE Controller for the setup?
Thank you!
