Question about TCP or UDP protocol #45

Closed pgiacalo closed 11 years ago

pgiacalo commented 11 years ago

Hi, In addition to serial data input, does mavelous support telemetry input over TCP or UDP? Thanks, Phil

pchickey commented 11 years ago

Its actually Mavproxy which is responsible for accepting mavlink streams as input. The Mavelous server is a module loaded by Mavproxy on startup, and mavlink streams, regardless of their source, are internally plumbed into the Mavelous server.

By default, Mavproxy will attempt to connect to a serial port, but by using the --master command line switch, you can connect to either TCP or UDP streams as well. See the following page for an example in the "Starting Mavproxy" section: http://qgroundcontrol.org/mavlink/mavproxy_startpage
