Controlling Multiple Quadcopters

Post by sekha.raza@gmail.com »

Hi, for a project we are trying to control multiple quadcopters with one radio. We need to give each quadcopters separate commands.

As each quadcopter has the same URI, our software cannot distinguish between them.

Is there any way we can change the URI of our quadcopters. Or is there any other way to make this work?

Thanks

You can assign different addresses. An overview (using ROS) is available in "Flying Multiple UAVs Using ROS", in Springer Book on Robot Operating System (ROS), 2017. A preprint is available online: http://usc-actlab.github.io/publications.html.

Another interesting project for you might be the Crazyswarm: http://crazyswarm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Good luck!
Wolfgang
