Tutorials

Step-by-step guides to help you build real-world drone swarm applications.

Getting Started Tutorials

Your First Swarm

Create a simple 3-drone swarm with formation control and mesh networking in under 10 minutes. See the examples directory.

Path Planning with PSO

Implement particle swarm optimization for efficient multi-waypoint navigation. Run cargo run --example pso_optimization.

Secure Communication

Set up end-to-end encrypted communication with military-grade cryptography. See Security Guide.

Hardware Integration

STM32 Deployment

Deploy your swarm system on STM32F4/F7 microcontrollers with embedded HAL. See STM32 Guide.

ESP32 WiFi Mesh

Build a WiFi mesh network using ESP32 for cost-effective swarm communication. See ESP32 Guide.

PX4/ArduPilot Integration

Integrate with popular flight controllers using MAVLink protocol. See PX4 Guide.

Algorithm Deep Dives

Implementing Custom PSO Topologies

Learn how to create custom particle swarm topologies for specific optimization problems. Run cargo run --example pso_optimization.

ACO for 3D Path Planning

Master ant colony optimization for obstacle avoidance in 3D environments. Run cargo run --example aco_path_planning.

Grey Wolf Optimizer

Fine-tune GWO parameters for multi-objective swarm coordination. Run cargo run --example gwo_swarm_optimization.
