MAVproxy on windows with real pixhawk

Before Going on to beaglebone, I wish to test the following:

1. connect a pixhawk telemetry 2 through a FTDI uart to usb to my windows PC.
2. run a MAVproxy on wondows
3. connect mission planner(on local PC) to pixhawk through MAVproxy
4. same as 3, but from another PC in the same network.

I have done this with dronekit-sitl on PC, according to the dronekit-sitl paper, connect 2 link to it can cause unstable. For multiple connections, it recommands MAVproxy.

When I first started, I have install MAVproxy through windows installer, as well as pip through command line.(I also use python on PC)
double installation cause the program to run very strangely, so I uninstall MAVproxy from windows uninstaller, and pip uninstall mavproxy through command line. Then run again the windows installer again from this page:

 http://ardupilot.github.io/MAVProxy/html/getting_started/index.html

MAVproxy starts to show correct information....but I still can't get local or remote GCS connected.

Then I found out that there is a command "output", in MAVproxy, type in, it will response on the output Nr and output UDP port.



I found out that the problem is on my command option....I did not get any output with my previous command.

So, the make a MAVproxy with local UDP at 14550 the command will be :






and after start, we can add link or add output:
ex:add an udp output for a GCS on IP192.168.2.108 and use udp 14550

output add 192.168.2.108:14550
IP address can be different
output add 192.168.0.13:14550


this are the correct options allow me to connect 2 GCS from 2 different PC.
so for every additional PC with GCS you will need more IP specified out put.
if you want to boradcast, you can do :
output add 192.168.0.255:14550

where the 192.168.0.xxx is the setting of your router network.
so for broadcasting
mavproxy.exe --master="com105" --baudrate=115200 --out=udp:192.168.0.255:14550

Heltec ESP32+OLED+Lora, hardware testing

you can easily find some good boards from china, but most of them lack of accurate document... Hrere is an example; https://hackaday.io/project/26991-esp32-board-wifi-lora-32 the board looks good with lora and a 128x64 OLED, but the IIC and reset connection is important, since pin can be muxing easily, so every board could be different. pinMode(16,OUTPUT);  digitalWrite(16, LOW); // set GPIO16 low to reset OLED  delay(50);  digitalWrite(16, HIGH); // while OLED is running, must set GPIO16 to high  and, if needed, edit your Wire.begin() to Wire.begin(4,15); (4 = SDA 15 SCL)  i tested it with the Adafruit SSD1306 and the Acrobotics SSD1306 Librarys  both work.  Display size is 128x64 There are discussions on these boards on TＴＮ as a LORA node..or maybee single ch gateway? Heltec has a git :  https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee And there is another copy call TTGO https://de.aliexpress.com/item/TTGO-LORA32-868-915-Mhz-SX1276-ESP32-Oled-display-Bluetooth-WIFI

micro SD card for ESP32, on lolin32 with OLED and heltec 32 lora oled

I have purchased 2 micro SD card holder for my esp project. First I would like to test with heltec esp32 lora oled module. this module uses: sck=05 MISO=19 MOSI=27 SS(lora)=18, then I assigned 21 for sd SS and there is a lib in esp32-arduino, which use SS default at 5 I took the example and use SD.begin(21), but I alway get the error: entry 0x40078a9c Card Mount Failed But I do saw once that it read out the sd card type and volume. Not sure it's the issue of lora sd card swithing, or it just can't work. The other esp32 card I have is an wemos esp32 oled, it did not leave me too much pins, I need to find out how to connect sd to it. But I have wemos D1 mini esp8266 on hand, and connect it as:  * The WeMos Micro SD Shield uses:  * D5, D6, D7, D8, 3V3 and G  *  * The shield uses SPI bus pins:  * D5 = CLK  * D6 = MISO  * D7 = MOSI  * D8 = CS It's not working with the example in the arduino IDE 1.8.5, which marked SD(esp8266), but it w

Install Network Time Protocol(NTP) on BeagleBone with Angstrom linux and set local time zone

Referenced from : http://cwraig.id.au/?p=513 1. Update your Package List opkg update 2. Get the ntp Package opkg install ntp ntpdate Update 2014/07/03 for the latest beaglebone image(2013-06-20) with kernel 3.8.12, after this installation,  system will add to service list, so only need to change time zone 3. Now we need to stop the ntpd service so we can request a manual update /etc/init.d/ntpd stop manual update ntpdate pool.ntp.org type in date, you should see the date is changing to current date and time, but the time zone is not corrected. The time zone info is contained in /etc/localtime , use this to remove it: rm /etc/localtime before link up our time zone, look into /usr/share/zoneinfo folder for your timezone. I did not find taiwan in asia, not plan to use hong_kong, but there is still: /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-8 now we make the link with ln command ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT-8 /etc/localtime now type date again to check, should ha
