1.1.1

Multiple drones connection

All AR.Drone vehicles in default configuration use the same IP address, so it is not possible to connect multiple
AR.Drone vehicles to the same computer without doing non-standard vehicle reconfiguration. Community written
instructions about how to do it exist, but they are not officially supported by AR.Drone manufacturer Parrot. The
easiest way how to connect multiple AR.Drone vehicles to U[g]CS is to connect each vehicle to its own computer
with AR.Drone VSM running on it:

In this case it is necessary to add addresses of all computers to U[g]CS VSM configuration:
