Arming of a swarm

[matejkarasek]

Hi, I would like to fly a swarm of crazyflies that require arming (CONFIG_MOTORS_REQUIRE_ARMING=y) like in the synchornizedSequence.py example:

In older firmware, you could just arm/disarm the crazyflie by setting a parameter to true/false, which was easy to do with swarm.parallel_safe(...).

Now that the arming is handled via the CRTP arming message, I didn't manage to find a solution yet.

Thanks for any advice!

I expect I need to use the send_arming_request function, but did not figure out how to do that for a swarm...

So.. adding cf.platformservice.send_arming_request(True) in the run_sequence doesn't work for you?

[matejkarasek]

Ah, yeah, that was a pointer in the right direction...

The platformservice, where the send_arming_request function sits, is initialized as "platform", so adding cf.platform.send_arming_request(True) did the trick!

Thanks! (and apologies for the late reply, only got to try this now...)
