Connecting from UgCS to HereLink joining 5Ghz network
- Join 5gz network with HereLink and UgCS laptop (UDP might have some firewall or security measures that can disrupt the connection established between devices);
- Open vsm-ardupilot.conf with notepad (with Administrator privileges) found at C:\Program Files (x86)\UgCS\bin;
- Add the following lines:
connection.udp_out.1.address = X.X.X.X
connection.udp_out.1.port = 14552
Where X.X.X.X is IP address of the HereLink device; - Restart Ardupilot VSM.
