I plan to (eventually) build my own GCS. So far, I've created a simple COM port rerouter (for sharing a COM port across a network) for my GCS. I will have the APM on the drone (drone is connected to PC by local wifi network) and I will have my GCS on the PC. I think I have my COM port rerouter working, but I can't really test it because HK GCS does not allow me to connect to the virtual com port (unless the APM is plugged into it, but the APM is plugged into the drone not the PC).

Whenever HK GCS attempts to connect to a APM, it outputs this to the window: $Q,0,0*51.

What does this message mean? Is it just a random string used for initialization?

And, after HK's "$Q,0,0*51" request, what command does HK need to get from the serial connection in order for HK to connect?

Thanks for any help,
