A drone is an IoT device that interacts with many sensors and actuators, including digital electronic speed controllers linked to engines, propellers and servomotors. A drone is also known as an Unnamed Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Let's imagine that we have to monitor many drones. Specifically, we have to display their altitude and the speed for each of their servomotors. Not all of the drones have the same number of engines, propellers and servomotors. We have to monitor quadcopters (4 propellers), hexacopters (6 propellers) and octocopters (8 propellers).
Each drone will publish its altitude every two seconds to the following topic: sensors/dronename/altitude, where dronename must be replaced by the name assigned to each drone. ...
