" I really would like to help you but I get the sense that you really aren't that committed to figuring this out. I'll give you one final tip: If you don't want to read, you can watch some YouTube videos:…"
"If you want to control it in flight, you are going to need either a telemetry radio or some kind of wireless link between your UAV and Mac. The easiest is telemetry radios but i have no idea if the QRX350 can support it. I suggest you do some…"
"It might be easier to help you if you describe the issue you are having. Are you having issues installing the software on your mac?
Is it connecting to your copter?
Does your UAV even support APM? Perhaps that is the root of your problem? You'll…"

""Do Fly your model aircraft/UAS at your local model aircraft club. " Unless you in DC metro, where no flying is allowed 30 miles out from DCA"
"Your OS argument is valid-- but the problem is there are already full featured apps available in systems that most people own. I probably wouldn't but proprietary hardware that I can't replace parts. Looks full featured and If it could run on…"
"Does anyone know how much those transponders cost? I couldn't find pricing. I'm assuming they will be required in commercial use but are they cost effective for hobbyists?"
"I have been working on this now and have had made some progress with the TCP/IP connectivity portion of it. It is quite confusing because of so many mavproxy inputs and outputs so it must be written down! I haven't actually had it move the servos…"
"@Patrick-- I want all of your toys! :) I'm about to start on a tracker that I'm considering mounting on an ArduRover. I figure I can send the tracker out to the middle of the field while I hang back with a brew. :) "
"@patrick-- which USB adapter are you using? "
"Yeah, I didn't fully grasp how what they were doing is much different than using UDP?
I'm about to try a setup with a base station using helical antenna and Engenius 5.8. On the hex will be a plain ole 5.8 Alfa usb dongle on the RPI. I am still…"

"Posting this here as there are attempts at finding alternative ways to send video streams via WiFI hardware. This might be interesting to some of those in this thread. https://befinitiv.wordpress.com/wifibroadcast-analog-like-transmiss..."
"Tried a different windows machine (i7) --using same pipeline and same version of gstreamer 1.4.5 and it works just fine. I'm about to write it off as a hardware issue with that box. Thanks for all the help."
"I moved to my mac and fired up with the same pipeline i was using on the windows GCS and it works just fine. So I really do think the windows gstreamer setup or the machine itself is to blame. I find that odd since TCP will fire up the window…"
"I just set mine back up for UDP to do a packet capture. I fired up wireshark on the windows GCS and I can see the packets are going out on port 38136 and arriving at the destination GCS on port 5000. So I really think it is windows that is not…"
"No i never was able to analyze the stream. I got a bit distracted by the hardware / range testing with TCP but do plan to give UDP a try as it is the most efficient protocol for this purpose.. I did try and move to an ad-hoc wired connection…"
