Hi Folks,
I have searched this forum but still can't find the easiest way to control the APM 2.5+ via Ethernet / Internet.
I just want to be able to update its waypoints via a router / ethernet solution.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a good how to guide?
Or at least some converter board that will get the job done.
Thanks,
Adam

Maybe you get some ideas here:

Ive used a Xbee footprint wifi module, setup as an adhoc network. Was good.
Hacked apart my old virgin media, netgear router, put a patch antenna on it facing up, setup the module to auto connect to the SSID with WPA2. Worked very well indeed. Got better range on the infrastructure network compared to adhoc.
I want to do the same thing. I simply want to be able to connect to my APM via tcp/ip through an ethernet connection. Is this possible?
I was considering using an ethernet to serial converter as listed here

Is this the only solution?
Hmmm, I just found this too,
