Get a wireless router and a small WiFi adapter so that we could SSH the ODROID wirelessly (duh).

Been drilling the internet for hours now regarding this issue of making the companion computer accessible via wifi. with NO success. This is one of the thousand guides i checked : http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/companion-computers/odroid-via-mavlink/odroid-wifi-access-point-for-sharing-files-via-samba/

http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=82&t=3406

any ideas how to continue? @Vasily @fwalch

Um, do you know what doesn't work? Do you see the WiFi dongle in lsusb?

Also, what are you trying to achieve? The first guide is for making the odroid work as an access point, not for connecting it to an existing WiFi.

Anyhow, I'll have a look when we meet :)

Note that not all WiFi dongles support AP mode (If that's what you were going for). If its urgent you can forward port 22 on your router to the ODROID (When connected via LAN) and we could try to debug it remotely.

I was able to get the WifI dongle to work on the ODROID and connect to a WiFi network. I got us a wireless router we can use. I'll get the ODROID to automatically connect to the wireless router and have a permanent IP address.

The ODROID should connect to known WiFi networks on boot. To add a new WPA authenticated network: wpa_supplicant SSID password Add the output to /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf.

Tested wifi connection + ssh + sending commands with mavros. All equipment on drone ( battery, uart cable)

All succesful.

Connection seems to be working properly.
