"Hi Michael,
It's easiest to configure both rockets on a PC, with both rockets connected to a router.  Once the Rockets are connected, you should be able to unplug your "Air" rocket, connect your RPI (make sure IP is configured correctly on RPI),…"

"Looks good to me; cant wait to see what you come up with!  I've spent most of my time focused on the hardware side, and am a bit lacking on the software side, so sharing what you put together would be much appreciated!"

"Too bad I cant get g-streamer working on my windows machine...!  I liked the idea of pi to pi streaming, but love having the ability to overlay the HUD and monitor my wifi signal strength all on the same display.  If I could only manage an overlay…"

"You will need to make sure all settings in mission planner under "Antenna Tracker" are correct.  Also verify that you have selected the correct port and make sure baud rate is 9600."

"A couple of pictures with the new RPI camera enclosure, which is very close to the size of my GoPro which should make it easy to mount to the GoPro gimbal I have on the way.  Also a shot of the Rocket M5 with the (2) 5.8ghz "Mad Mushroom" antenna.…"
