Hi, I really impressed by your ongoing progress on this repo . I just want to know can we connect multiple vehicles using different UDP ports?

Hi, thanks for your feedback! Yes, you can indeed add multiple ports of various types, including serial ports, TCP, and UDP. The key is to ensure that each vehicle has a unique SYS/COM_ID and to avoid creating circular references, as there’s currently no protection against that. I only had access to Arducopter’s SITL, so the screenshot shows TCP ports. However, you can add UDP ports in the same way.
