Some issues...

[zevall]

Hello!
I am interested in questions:
1) Is it possible to manage multiple Nano Quadcopters through Crazyradio?
2) Can the Nano Quadcopters interact with each other and at what maximum distance of no Crazyradio?
3) Can the radio Nano Quadcopter act as an access point?

The goal - to run on Nano Quadcopters decision-making system is independent of the operator, for that I need to Nano Quadcopters exchange information without Crazyradio.

pps. I apologize for my English, if there is confusion, I will answer in the comments.

The wireless chip has a lot of channels and with some programming it would be possible to control more than one CF.

The max. Distance depends on location, outside it has something about 30-40m, inside the same but with walls in betweens you only have about 10m.

Don't know if it is possible to interact with other CFs but i think it should be..

Hi zevall,

1) The radio hardware supports addresses and so it is possible to put many copters on the same channel with each of them a different address. It is even possible to have a 'broadcast' address. However some code needs to be implemented for it.
2) The radio hardware allows for communication between copters but no firmware support exists. Basically the copter is currently constantly in receive mode, it would have to be switched in TX mode for the time of communication and switched back in RX mode. If channel and address are right the other copter will receive the message.
3) I do not understand what you mean by 'Access point'. Can you provide a use-case for it?

The radio part of the Crazyradio is exactly equivalent to the radio of the Crazyflie, the only difference is how they are used.
