    Re: Data Collection from Ground Sensors

    I plan on using the setup where the drone is an access point and the ground sensors (Raspberry Pis) connect to it automatically. However, I've been having issues when multiple sensors are in range of the drone, and so they all try to connect. My question is how many devices can connect to the m500's network at once?

      @Evan-D , based on the contents of /data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf :

      # Maximum number of stations allowed in station table. New stations will be
      # rejected after the station table is full. IEEE 802.11 has a limit of 2007
      # different association IDs, so this number should not be larger than that.
      # (default: 32)
      #max_num_sta=32
      

      It is possible that after your device has seen 32 different clients, it cannot accept new ones.

      You can examine this config file and /usr/bin/voxl-wifi (which is used to set the device into the ap mode) and try to increase the number of stations.
