How to confirm Follow Mode works (DroneBridge network test)

Ground Control Software MAVLink
1

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to bench-test Follow Mode between two vehicles connected through a DroneBridge network. I’d like to confirm that the follower actually “sees” the leader before flying.

Is there a simple way to check - maybe in Mission Planner or from the logs - which MAVLink messages the autopilot is receiving? For example, can I verify that it’s getting GLOBAL_POSITION_INT from the leader’s sysid?

What’s the best way to confirm that Follow Mode will actually work before a flight?

Thanks!

I’ve watched the videos, but still haven’t found any quick solution — maybe there’s a way to do it with a Lua script.
