Connecting to bebop wifi and VICON wifi at the same time #1

Open pakrasi opened 6 years ago

Hello,

Our setup involves a Widows machine that is running Vicon Tracker 3.6, and a laptop running Ubuntu 14.04. We pull Vicon data from a wifi router connected to the Windows machine, and send commands to the bebop using its wifi. I was wondering how you do both at the same time.

Thank you!

Hello @pakrasi,

We used two setups that involved the usage of ethernet and wifi / wifi only. Both require to use a router.

The first option is straightforward, you need to connect your Ubuntu machine with an Ethernet cable to the router and the Windows machine with another cable. Then, your Ubuntu machine should be capable of connect to Bebop via wifi and Windows Machine via Ethernet (ping the IP address of each device).

The wifi-wifi option its a little bit more complex and can void your warranty, basically you need to modify some system configurations to connect to an existing wifi network instead of creating an Access Point (default behavior). The router will be your existing wifi, and once connected you can utilize your wifi as normal. This guide from Nicollas Gallardo can help you. I recommend you to proceed with caution because you can easily damage your unit, do it at your own risk.

Please feel free of ask any doubt, I'm will be glad to help.

Best Wishes!
