Even though, IR and WiFi are vastly different things, I think this could be the case here as well.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-07-09)

I'm searching for an app to control a Zerotech Doby drone. The official app "DoFun" is no more available, but surprisingly it works with another Chinese app "FlightGo".

I wonder if the WiFi protocol used there is somehow well known, and if there are any better, preferably opensource apps.
