Using QGroundControl via Wi-Fi
|
|
===
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can monitor, control, calibrate and configure the flight controller of the quadcopter using QGroundControl via Wi-Fi.
|
|
This requires [connecting to Wi-Fi](wifi.md) of the `clover-xxxx` network.
|
|
|
|
After that, in the Clover launch-file `/home/pi/catkin_ws/src/clover/clover/launch/clover.launch`, choose one of the preconfigured bridge modes.
|
|
|
|
After editing the launch-file, restart the `clover` service:
|
|
|
|
```(bash)
|
|
sudo systemctl restart clover
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
TCP bridge
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Change parameter `gcs_bridge` in the launch file:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<arg name="gcs_bridge" default="tcp"/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then in the QGroundControl program, choose Application Settings > Comm Links > Add. Create a connection with the following settings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then choose the created connection from the list of connections, and click "Connect".

|
|
UDP bridge (with automated connection)
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Change parameter `gcs_bridge` in the launch file:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<arg name="gcs_bridge" default="udp-b"/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After opening the QGroundControl application, the connection should be established automatically.

|
|
UDP bridge (without automated connection)
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Change parameter `gcs_bridge` in the launch file:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<arg name="gcs_bridge" default="udp-b"/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then in the QGroundControl program, choose Application Settings > Comm Links > Add. Create a connection with the following settings:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then choose the created connection from the list of connections, and click "Connect".

|
|
UDP broadcast bridge
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
> **Hint** The feature of the UDP broadcast bridge is the ability to view drone telemetry simultaneously from multiple devices (e.g., a phone and a PC). It is also well suited for devices networking using a router.
|
|
|
|
Change parameter `gcs_bridge` in the launch file:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<arg name="gcs_bridge" default="udp-b"/>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After opening the QGroundControl application, the connection should be established automatically.
