Running dronekit while connected to GCS

danacan211

I want to run my python dronekit code while I'm connected to pixhawk via mission planner. Can UAVcast set up a second TCP/UDP port to do this?

danacan211 Hi
Yes you can,
You can choose which port you want to use for each ground station.

Since I run both GCs on the same PC, the IP is the same. I picked a different port, but the second port seems to be overriding the first one.

With just one GC set up I get:

Valid Serial Link: aseriallink Found at: /dev/ttyAMA0, baud: 57600
Valid UDP Link: 10.244.143.1 Found at 10.244.143.1:14550 -> 0

After I add the second one on port 14560 I see that they are now BOTH pointing to 14560

Valid Serial Link: aseriallink Found at: /dev/ttyAMA0, baud: 57600
Valid UDP Link: 10.244.143.1 Found at 10.244.143.1:14560 -> 0
Valid UDP Link: 10.244.143.1 Found at 10.244.143.1:14560 -> 0

danacan211 interesting. I will test it on my RPI and get back to you.

OK I Worked around it. I created a second IP in ZeroTier and kept the port the same at 14550. It works ! Thanks for the help

danacan211 Clever method. Glad you found a solution,

Ahh... I do also have to change the port as well since it is virtual IP pointing to the same machine. So the solution then is to create a separate IP in ZeroTier AND give it a separate port
