Using QGroundControl via Wi-Fi

QGroundControl

You can monitor, control, calibrate and configure the flight controller of the quadcopter using QGroundControl via Wi-Fi. This requires connecting to Wi-Fi of the CLEVER-xxxx network.

After that, in the Clever launch-file /home/pi/catkin_ws/src/clever/clever/launch/clever.launch, choose one of the preconfigured bridge modes.

After editing the launch-file, restart the clever service:

sudo systemctl restart clever

TCP bridge

Change parameter gcs_bridge in the launch file:

<arg name="gcs_bridge" default="tcp"/>

Then in the QGroundControl program, choose Application Settings > Comm Links > Add. Create a connection with the following settings:

QGroundControl TCP connection

Then choose "Clever" from the list of connections, and click "Connect".

UDP bridge (with automated connection)

Change parameter gcs_bridge in the launch file:

<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:

<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:

QGroundControl UDP connection

Then choose "CLEVER" 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:

<arg name="gcs_bridge" default="udp-b"/>

After opening the QGroundControl application, the connection should be established automatically.
