UDP Link to remote server

Posted by Ziv on November 12, 2014 at 2:37pm

Hi,

I would like to connect my APM planner to a remote server using UDP.

I am writing the remote server IP and port in the popup after pressing Add IP on the UDP link page, but it doesn't make the connection to the remote server.

Can anyone advise how can I connect to a remote server ?

Thanks,

Ziv

    UDP is connectionless, you don't actually make a connection per se.

    In your case you don't need to set IP address in APM Planner 2.0, you just need to have your program send messages to the IP address APM Planner 2.0 is running on at port 14550. It will send messages back to the device that sent the messages.

    [If you mean Mission Planner, I am unsure how you set that up, but it should be similar]

      I use my iPhone as hotspot to connect the APM Planner so the IP is hidden by the ISP and I can't connect to it from the outside, my aim is to connect the APM to a Google cloud instance and to call that server from the planner.
      Any advice on that strategy ?

        I've used tcp to connect from iOS or using my iPhone as a tether with no problem. That would be easier. UDP should work and you can get the IP address by using Net Analyzer or similar program. Though some Ports my be blocked, that's not so prevalent these days
