Mavproxy for Telemetry listening without network to the GCS

[warp2 (Mat)]

Hi all
I would like to have for a watching person a telemtry listening device to monitor mavlink telemetry data from the vehicle. There is no possibility to have a WLAN network between the GCS and the watching position and I would not like to use GSM to forwarding in mavproxy.
Is there a way to set up mavproxy to just listening to the mavlink messages and display the position and speed…
Thanks for your help
Mat

Is this post my solution?

Mavproxy as exclusively proxy, no commands

Hello, I am trying to test some new ground control software I have been working on. I’ve tested thoroughly using SITLs and now I want to try it outside on real hardware. For this test, I want to use MavProxy with two outs, one out for my GCS and another for mission planner. However, I want my GCS software to be the only one sending anything back to the drone though MavProxy. This means I need the Mission Planner out to have “set mavfwd false” (I’ve got that part down) and I also want mavproxy …

• set mavfwd false
• set heartbeat 0 in mavinit.scr

How ist elemetry getting from the vehicle to the watching person? Does the watching person have a telemetry radio paired with the vehicle?

I was thinking of using a SIK radios
The watching person would use a SIK radio with the same settings as on the GCS

You could cut the tx line on the radio used by the watching person.

good point, I will try that out

No need to cut the tx, just set the duty cycle on the listening radio to 0
