Synchronizing rover v2 with drones

Help & Support Robots & Kits
1

Hi! I am currently trying to determine an implementation of synchronizing rover v2 robots (https://www.robotshop.com/ca/fr/kit-bluetooth-dfrobotshop-rover.html) with open-source drones known as crazyflies (https://www.bitcraze.io/products/crazyflie-2-1/). The goal is to have these robots communicating with one another and be able to perform tasks together. I was wondering if there were any resources or research done which could help me out with this project. If any other information is required, feel free to ask.

Thank you so much in advance for your help!

@linrs Welcome to the RobotShop Community. The Crazyflie seems to have onboard BLE, so in theory, you can add a BLE to the DFRobotShop Rover to be able to communicate with either of the two. The next question is differentiating the signal - research what protocol the drone uses and see if you can implement something similar on the rover.

In terms of working together, that will really be up to you - you’ll have to give a lot more information about what you envision and how.

Not aware of any articles or sample code which you can start with.
