I am trying to run the MAVSDK python example. For this I need to put my VOXL m5000 in station mode and ssh into it. After configuring the drone for this mode I ran "adb shell ifconfig" and it gives me the output shown in the attached screenshot. Why is no inet-address being shown and how can I ssh into the drone in this case?

@Eric-Katzfey Thank you very much for your fast reply! Regarding your first answer, which add-on would be necessary to establish mesh network configuration according to the manufacturers. As this is a key element to our prototype that there is no centralised unit doing the communication of data, we have to know for sure your drones are capable of establishing such mesh network.

Dear ModalAI engineers,

I am working on a multi agent system that has to demonstrate autonomous cooperation. I found the VOXL m500 a very good candidate to be used in my first prototype. I still have some questions regarding the capabilities of the VOXL m500 drone.

1. Is it possible to set up a mesh network with the communication modules provided by your company? By a mesh network I mean that each drone must be able to communicate with every other drone in the system. If not, what would be necessary to establish this?
2. Is it possible to add more payload to the drone? For example, an additional Lidar sensor or camera.
3. I am currently simulating my solution using software-in-the-loop with Ardupilot, MAVLink, and QGroundControl, will it take a lot of time to convert the code to be compatible with the VOXL flight deck?
4. Can the VOXL flight companion computer provide enough computational power to perform advanced decision making as well as image recognition and SLAM?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Remco Roelofs
