"I might be able to help you. I'm working on the same thing now. I have found a way to swarm 3DR Solo's using ROS."
"Yes, I'm very interested in swarming. Right now I am testing the UgCS Drone Dance controller. But I also found an interesting way to make swarms of Solos."
"I've been very interest in developing search and rescue tools for drones. You may have seen some of the reports on the news. I started a project called PROJECT RYPTIDE in 2014. The drones were used during the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016. …"
"I'm actually working on this right now using re purposed 3DR Solos and other drones using Pixhawk and WiFi T915mhz telemetry. We're also adding 4G LTE Support. I work as a Developer Advocate for Qualcomm. If you would like to collaborate on…"
"The code is not accessible yet, but as soon as it is I will post here."
"Hi Dan!
Wow, I'm interested in the same thing - autonomous race drones.
I was thinking of using IR LED Strips for a track, as well as LED 'targets' to fly though. We should collaborate. I have a sponsor who is interested in funding it if I can…"

This is an example of a swarm that only uses OpenCV and AprilTags for Navigation. It was very cleverly executed by Zerotech, the makers of the Dobby drone, which uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon Flight Controller. This swarm uses AprilTags on a mat…
"Will do. I will create a new post with directly links to the Navigator SDK. This would also work with OpenMV and Pixhawk as well. I'll start a new threat shortly. "
"I know this is an old thread, but have you seen the new Snapdragon Navigator for Qualcomm Flight? I'm a developer advocate for Qualcomm, and the navigator offers incredible new possibilities for machine vision applications with their SDK.

"I can help you with this project. I have been building commercial drones since 2011. I've built drones for Discovery Networks, The Science Channel and NatGeo.
I also program drones and was a participant in the DJI Developer Challenge 2016

"You would need a 3.3v to 5v logic level converter to use with Pixhawk. You can find one here: https://www.amazon.com/TXB0104-Breakout-Bidirectional-Voltage-Trans..."
"It's in the 'advanced prototype' phase - but I can share the STL files with you if you're interested. You will also need two 16mm carbon fiber tubes and two 14mm carbon tubes. We're going to update the design to all 16mm. You can reach me…"
"Please let me know the moment is available. I would even be willing to purchase a beta unit"

"I designed the frame because most frames are open and not suited to flying around open water. What you're not seeing is the cover, which is not 100% water tight, but waterproof enough to keep delicate electronics from being splashed. It will take…"
