Hi, I’m trying to connect to multiple drones from a single application. Each drone has a different sysid. I was hoping I could identify the drones by sysid from the code, but I don’t see a method in System to get the sysid of a drone, and DronecodeSDK only supports accessing each drone by UUID with DronecodeSDK::system(uint64\_t uuid); Is there a reason why sysid is hidden even though it is known internally? Would adding one of these methods be acceptable? System& DronecodeSDK::systemBySysid(uint8\_t sysid); uint8\_t System::get\_sysid() const; Thanks ---

Good question. Yes that’s probably something that would make sense. I actually wanted to change that API a bit anyway and I started the work in a pull request. Feel free to comment, thanks. > ---
