Controlling multiple drones using mruby
mruby is a lightweight implementation of the Ruby language. In this talk we will see how the mruby build system works, how to optimize its configuration for controlling drones, and use it to control a certain class (Tello) of programmable drones. It will include code for: - flight control (using UDP sockets) - camera control (using OpenCV) - multiple drone control (using Fibers) The talk will end with a live demo of multi-drone acrobatics followed by a group activity involving crowd coding.
