The RaspberryPi Zero is connected to the Apogee autopilot board using an UART.
The bi-directional telemetry is send to the GCS using the wifi
- On the RaspberryPi:
sudo apt-get install socat
socat -u udp-listen:4243,reuseaddr,fork /dev/ttyAMA0,raw,echo=0,b115200 & socat -u /dev/ttyAMA0,raw,echo=0,b115200 udp-sendto:GCS_IP:4242 &
- On the GCS:
<module name="telemetry" type="transparent"> <configure name="MODEM_PORT" value="UART1"/> <configure name="MODEM_BAUD" value="B115200"/> </module>
telemetry file:
