Connecting multiple drones #304

Hi, I was just wandering if there is a way of connecting two bebop drones when using cylon-bebop and how it would be done if possible? Also do you have any module for navigation using the gps of the bebop drone.

Hi, @3158155

The Bebop is a WiFi device, that acts as an access point by default. To connect to multiple Bebop drones, you would need to change it to infrastructure mode, which appears to be a somewhat different procedure than that used on the ARDrone, from our initial experiments.

The navdata on the Bebop is not as easy to get to as the ARDrone, as discussed here: https://github.com/Parrot-Developers/ARSDKBuildUtils/issues/2

That said, we are planning to expose as much as possible in an upcoming release of node-bebop & cylon-bebop.

Hope that helps!
