How can I control the APM over the internet. I plan on connecting it to a raspberry Pi with an internet dongle instead of using a telemetry module. How can I pass the necessary signals to control the APM through the pi? My set-up will be as follows. A main rover, with a proper netbook and wifi hotspot, which will be controlled remotely over the internet by sending it signals generated in labview. Then I have a quadrotor, which will be controlled by the APM. So I have 2 options. Somehow, connect an RC transmitter to the main computer on the rover with a USB interface, but I do not know whether that's possible. Or sending the signals to the quadrotor through the Raspberry Pi. The Pi will be handling telemetry and video streaming. Is there some sort of USB adapter that can transmit an RC signal? I also have an arduino on board the main rover, so will it be possible to generate an RC signal through that and then transmit it to the quadrotor somehow?
