"How can I establish simultaneous connections between Olympe and the SkyController with the ANAFI AI drone?"

[zain]

"Hello,

I’m aware that it’s not feasible to establish simultaneous connections between Olympe and the SkyController with the ANAFI AI drone because the drone only supports one connection at a time. The first device to establish an SDK connection (in my case, the SkyController) takes priority, while the second (Olympe with Linux) receives a connection refusal.

Furthermore, I’m interested in finding a way to concurrently connect Olympe and the SkyController to the drone without relying on a USB cable. In other words, I’d like to have two independent devices controlling the drone.

Alternatively, is there any method to address this issue and create a new network architecture, such as modifying certain WiFi/drone or SkyController configurations?

Thank you,

Alan"

Hi @zain,

The drone only supports one connection at a time, so it’s not possible to have two independent devices controlling the drone.

Yes, you can send a connectivity message to change the drone’s wifi mode. Note that the “Direct connection to the drone” option must be activated before changing the wifi mode. However, in client mode (station_config mode), only olympe can be used to control the drone. The skycontroller cannot connect to the drone and therefore cannot be used in this wifi mode.
