Are there known limitations in your library today?

As far as I know the issue it has at the moment is that I don't seem to be receiving battery updates. Also due to the drone's design it's impossible to get a clear response for a command. Instead it just sends commands back containing state information that I use to throw events (see here).

Besides that there is no wifi support at the moment. It should support multiple drone connections at once in theory.

One other limitation at the moment is the lack of FTP support for the drone's storage.

What about the swarm feature of drones? As seen here: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-rolling-spider#swarm-api

I think it's ok given the design, ultimately a higher level library could implement this by mapping events to commands I believe, if you really wanted it

A very similar library was in the opposite state: https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-parrot-drone

Wifi support is planned as soon as I can get my hand on a drone that supports it.

From what I can tell from their code is that they just share the same noble instance to make sure that they all receive the same commands.
