MAVProxy for Swarming

araneg · May 13, 2020, 4:21pm

Hey All,

I’m interested in extending the multi-vehicle capabilities of MAVProxy by allowing each issued command to operate on multiple vehicles (multiple sysids and links) at once. So far, I’ve made changes to the interface of MPState.master() such that more than one vehicle can be selected at a time, and I’ve made changes at most respective call sites. It’s a work in progress, but I was wondering if anybody can foresee other kinds of changes or considerations which need to be made on a per-module basis as well. I’m somewhat new to the MAVProxy code-base.

Thanks

I think this is a great idea. We just need a neat pattern we can apply across the code. It will be a big patch, but nice feature.

I second this change. Full disclosure, Arash is employed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute and I’m his direct supervisor. He will be sending his PR to you soon @tridge

The PR is here: https://github.com/ArduPilot/MAVProxy/pull/760
But I haven’t been working on it recently.
