Parameter Downloading with Swarm()
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2020 4:58 pm
Hey
I've been testing some swarm flight sequences based off of the swarm example and so far I've gotten most things working. However, there's one thing I am not sure what it does and why it acts like it does.
That thing is parameter downloading. There's the function that's waiting for parameter download, but I do not know what parameters those are and what's their main function. What I've noticed doing tests with my 3 drones is that, as I increase my drone count, the time it takes for this to execute grows a lot - 1 drone is ~10 seconds, 2 drones is ~35 seconds and 3 is ~50 seconds.
I wonder how much this could increase with more drones and if there's a way to reduce this effect? And what does that function do exactly?
