Setup hardware for outdoor drone shows

In this tutorial you will learn how to setup your drone fleet and hardware accessories to prepare for an outdoor drone show using the Skybrush Suite.

At this point we assume the followings:

  • You have purchased your show drones (with RTK GPS, wifi and light module)

  • You have some kind of RTK base station or NTRIP-based RTK correction source

  • You have a single laptop that can run Skybrush Server and Skybrush Live in a package, or you have received our dedicated Skybrush Server hardware device and Skybrush Live software independently.

  • You have received our pre-compiled ArduCopter firmware for your show drones or you downloaded the code of the firmware from our forked ArduPilot repo on GitHub and compiled yourself.
