Forwarding Mavlink Packets between flight Controller and Mission Planner

Posted by menna.seyam on May 28, 2012 at 5:24am

We're trying to use a panda-board as a mediator between the flight controller and the mission planner. Where we send the bytes read on the serial port to a TCP server running on a linux machine, and the mission planner connects to this server.

But, the problem is that it fails in the connection, and outputs an exception. Has anyone tried forwarding mavlink packets?

Thanks

    hello,

    I try to make a bridge between my flight controller using megapirate ng and an android phone with the ioio board for android. 

    I have a communication in uart between the two board and I would like tranfer mavlink packet from uart to IP (3G).

    Do you have code or tricks to implements forwarding mavlink packets ?

    Congratulations,

    Hi,

    I'm doing some thing similar, but with a Beagleboard. I was hoping to use UDP instead of TCP over the Wifi link between the Beagleboard (onboard the copter) and the ground station.

    Any chance I could get a look at your forwarding code?

    i need more information.

    so long as you have 2 way comms, it will work.
