Multiple instances of Virtual Skynode can be run when the following conditions are met:
Each instance must use a separate storage directory. Use the --storage launch argument to control this
Each instance must use a separate root filesystem image. Use the --rootfs launch argument to control this
Each instance should be configured to have a unique MAVLink system_id after launch. Use AMC or MAVLink to set the APX4 parameter MAV_SYS_ID to unique values
Each instance must use a separate unique IPv4 address in the same subnet. Use the --guest-ip launch argument to control this.
Each instance's virtual FMU must be configured to use the "self-containd" simulation without Gazebo:
Example launch commands for three separate virtual skynode instances:
Launch the first instance:
Launch the second instance:
Launch the third instance:
Each instance of Virtual Skynode will consume CPU, RAM and disk space. Running multiple Virtual Skynode instances is therefore only viable on more powerful machines.
