Very curious to check it out! 
By the way, will there be an option to load params from file, for ‘offline’ editing/checking/comparing params without the craft connected? I find that quite handy on MP.
It is already an option

Hi @codeforges, I tried the UDPCl connection option but it doesn’t work
Hey first of all thank you for trying it out !
Now in order for me to help you i need a bit more information :
- What OS ?
- What Ardudeck version ?
- What was your setup ?
Linux
Latest release (29, I think)
Just trying to connect to the drone using UDPCl (specifying both IP and port)
Ok could you try the Alpha 30 RC-4 ?

Ok, finally found it - seems loading param file from disk requires being connected to a simulated craft in SITL? I have never used SITL before. If there is an offline mode with no connection at all, I’d probably rather use that.
No you dont need SITL for this.
Simply connect to your FC.
Go to Params → All Params
Press Load → select file and apply
Also Sitl is downloaded once , then you can use it offline.
Hi,
First of all: thanks for this software. I tried it today and it looks promising!
Unfortunately, I also stumbled across UDP Client not working.
I started a mavp2p session on the companion Pi Zero like this:
/usr/bin/mavp2p serial:/dev/serial0:115200 udps:0.0.0.0:14550 tcps:0.0.0.0:5760
Connecting Mission Planner works with both TCP and UDPCl. ArduDeck only works with TCP and keeps waiting for the heartbeat when selecting UDP Client. Behaviour of both v0.0.30-rc4 and v0.29 is equal.
Actually, I think ArduDeck is not making a connection at all. Whe using MissionPlanner I see a message appearing in the mavp2p log:
2026/04/11 20:24:28 channel opened: udp:192.168.100.10:43429
2026/04/11 20:24:28 node appeared: chan=udp:192.168.100.10:43429 sid=255 cid=190
While when trying to connect ArduDeck nothing appears.

OS is Linux and I am running the AppImage

Thank you for the detailed report , i will create a ticket for this.
Thanks, but that’s not what I intend to do - I’d like to load params without anything at all connected to USB (‘offline’), for example to check and compare params without having to take the actual copter or plane to my desk.
Of course I can do that with a text editor, but it’s much nicer seeing the params displayed with proper names etc. in a GCS. I’ve been doing that with MP for ages.
And since there never has been a more visually appealing GCS than yours, it would be great if I could do it with it as well.
