Improving our PX4 Drone Show: Creating a Multiple Drone Show with Advanced MAVSDK Offboard Control
** Sorry for the loud background Music :D **
Video Timeline:
00:00 Intro and review
00:40 SITL Environment and Trajectory Creation
01:08 Fly Demo
03:00 Build it Your self
PS:
I added the Acceleration Feed Foreward to MAVSDK official build so now you can use the acceleration feedforward as well.
Welcome to our advanced tutorial on Creating a Multiple Drone Show with Custom MAVSDK Python Function! In this episode, we're taking a step forward from our previous MAVSDK Offboard Control tutorial, introducing the concept of managing multiple drones and creating a spectacular drone show.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, we highly recommend checking out our previous video that covers the basics and fundamental concepts of MAVSDK Offboard Control with a single drone. You can find the video here: • Single Drone Show Basics with MAVSDK ...
🔴 Tutorial Highlights:
Dive deep into creating a multiple drone show using a custom MAVSDK Python function.
Learn how to run a Gazebo environment with multiple drones and connect to them individually using MAVSDK and MAVSDK_Server.
Get introduced to a custom MAVSDK Python function 'set_position_velocity_acceleration_ned' not yet part of the official MAVSDK as of May 2023.
Walkthrough the demonstration of a drone show with 5 drones.
Access our GitHub repository for complete code and documentation.
⚙️ Prerequisites:
Basic knowledge of Python programming.
Familiarity with MAVSDK and PX4's Offboard Control from our previous tutorial ( • Single Drone Show Basics with MAVSDK ... )
A PX4 development environment for Software-in-the-Loop (SITL) simulation (Ubuntu or WSL-2).
MAVSDK installed to communicate with the drones.
⚠️ Important Note:
Working with multiple real drones involves increased risk. Please exercise extra caution, ensure you have the necessary expertise before using offboard mode with multiple drones. Use a companion computer or reliable telemetry for communication, and consider safety measures and failsafe scenarios.
