Hi folks. I am thinking to buy a drone and have some fun flying it, and being an engineer, I of course thought about writing code for it. That would be pretty cool to write code for a specific task a drone can do.
It could be things like:
Algorithm for locating a certain object in the area. Different search patterns, object recognition.
Drone swarm. Some tasks where drones benefit with acting as a team.
I think Elixir could fit quite well in the task. The question is - are there already some commercial drones that let you code in Elixir? Or maybe it’s possible to build a drone from scratch? Does anyone have experience with writing software for drones?
That’s cool. But sadly, the reviews say the Parrot copter is not compatible anymore with new iOS devices.
I’m wondering, what does a drone need to support to be able to talk with Elixir (or any language)? What should I be looking for? Maybe there’s some sort of open standard?
