thanks for you share , how can i use those codes transfer the RC transmission through LTE network to control the palne?

jberaud commented 3 years ago

This is currently base on UDP transmission which I don't think is available by default on LTE, though my knowledge is a bit limited.

It's possible. Ran the software using Ardupilot, Linux with Nvidia shield remote over 3G network. Just make sure to check that Ardupilot zero's last known "value" from the remote when the connection times-out or you will end up with a drone potentially hitting full throttle (happenden to me - but i had tied up the drone to an anchor before testing, so I was able to retrieve the drone again =D ).

I recommend that you fully understand the software & code before using it - been a few years now and I know there was a bug in the ardupilot code that I fixed in my build but that I never made pull request on. If I remember correctly, it was when the connection died and new values never got sent to the drone. It might be fixed in the latest version - but take a look before using it in shaky reception environment.
