  • That’s the right approach. If you want to connect a drone to Appian, everything depends on API support. Without it, Appian has nothing to communicate with.

    Your ESP32 setup is a solid example of creating that bridge between software and hardware.

    This is where solutions like Cisco Wireless and platforms like ORM Systems come in. They provide hardware built for connectivity, scalability, and integration.

    Instead of building everything from scratch:

    • Choose devices with APIs or SDKs
    • Use middleware if needed
    • Ensure strong network and security setup

    Because it’s not just about controlling the drone, it’s about making the entire system work reliably at scale.
