Why do I get a stack trace with message “Connection to Parrot drone lost...”,  when working with a drone using the MATLAB Support Package for Parrot Drones?

Answer 1

This message is displayed when the Wifi connection between the computer and drone is lost. Ensure that your computer is connected to the drone’s Wifi, clear the existing connection, and re-create the MATLAB-drone connection again using the "parrot" function.

If this does not resolve the issue, it is possible that the computer security firewall is interfering with the connection protocol. Try temporarily turning off the firewall and connecting to the drone to debug the issue.

This can also be caused due to the firewall blocking connection between the drone and the computer. Ensure that the drone connection is allowed in the firewall settings.
