UDP with netcat on Mac OS












1















I try to connect to a Tello drone from my Mac by opening an UDP connection to 192.168.10.1 via port 8889 to send commands and receive ack's from the device.



When using "Packet Sender" it works, but the tool is a little clumsy, so I would like to just use netcat, using nc -4u 192.168.10.1 8889, but this does not work. Also tried with iperf and gnu netcat, to no avail - iPerf returns a "connection refused". Ping to 192.168.10.1 does work.



Since Packet Sender does work instantly, I assume there is no firewall or general connectivity issue here but I am not sure whether I need to tell nc anything more than the IP and port? The mac is connected to the LAN via Ethernet and to the drone via WLAN, but that does not seem to be a problem for PacketSender.

          Is this a new Fibonacci Identity?

          Image
          6 1 $begingroup$ I have found the following Fibonacci Identity (and proved it). If $F_n$ denotes the nth Fibonacci Number, we have the following identity begin{equation} F_{n-r+h}F_{n+k+g+1} - F_{n-r+g}F_{n+k+h+1} = (-1)^{n+r+h+1} F_{g-h}F_{k+r+1} end{equation} where $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ , $r leq n$ , $h leq g$ , and $n, g, k in mathbb{N}$ . It is not too hard to show that this identity subsumes Cassini's Identity, Catalan's Identity, Vajda's Idenity, and d'Ocagne's identity to name a few. I have done a pretty thorough literature review, and I have not found anything like this, but I am still wondering if anyone has seen this identity before? I found this by accident after noticing some patterns in some analysis work I was doing, so if this is already known I would be curious to see w
