Enable multiple dongles

Hi Whoenig,
I am doing research in cooperative control of multi-agent systems.

I noticed that the control performances degraded significantly when I applied my control algorithms to a group of three CFs with one dongle. I would like to enable multiple dongles (possibly one for each CF) to increase communication to verify if it was a communication issue or a deficiency of my algorithm.

I wonder if it is trivial to enable multiple dongles in crazflie_ros? If so, could you please give me some guidelines?

Any help will be appreciated.

Yes, just plug in multiple radios and then use radio://1/... radio://2/... etc for the other dongles. Make sure that you give each CF a unique address though. Also, use a different channel for each radio (and CF) to avoid packet collisions.
