Ad-hoc networking possibilities
-
Dear all,
We are working on an autonomous network topology maintenance scenario where the nodes (i.e., drones) should be interconnected through the Wi-Fi ad-hoc mode. We are having the same issue as Yuezhan mentioned here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/other/documentation/-/issues/23. I see that there is no native support for this on VOXL, but is there any way or a workaround that lets us use Wi-Fi in ad-hoc mode? If not, can Bluetooth (e.g., forming piconets) be useful in this case? Any bit of help would be awesome!
Many thanks,
Umut

I'm sorry, we do not have any experience with ad-hoc mode. You could try an external wifi module that supports this. If you need to rebuild the kernel, the source code is here
