How can i connect via ethernet to the piksi boards?

JadTawil-theonly commented 5 years ago

the socat connection is terminating after only a few seconds of connection. Any ideas?

After running socat pty,link=/tmp/virtualcom0,raw tcp:192.168.11.222:55555 The Swiftnav console does not pick up the device and I cannot select it. If i run tail on /tmp/virtualcom0 I also get nothing.

@TaylorDale I see you are using 192.168.11.222 instead of the default 192.168.0.222. Will the Swiftnav console connect directly over ethernet using the 192.168.11.222 address? I assume you have your subnet on this Linux ethernet port set to 192.168.11.x

@JeffSampson It does connect directly and I'm also using it successfully with a different Swiftnav ROS driver (rr_swiftnav_piksi) that directly supports a TCP input.
