Rpanion-Server 0.11.0 has been released, primarily as a bugfix update, with support for the latest Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson models.

Rpanion-Server is an Open-Source software package designed to facilitate the management of companion computers (such as a Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson) on an ArduPilot-powered vehicle. It provides functions like MAVLink telemetry distribution, video streaming and network management, NTRIP streaming, flight log management, and automatic flight log cloud uploads.

This release includes the following major changes:

  • Added support for Raspberry Pi 5 and NVIDIA Jetson Orin

  • Reduced latency in video streams

  • Basic implementation of the MAVLink camera protocol

  • Added username/password protection to the Web GUI

  • Various bug fixes to the camera and networking pages

Comprehensive documentation and pre-built disk images for the Raspberry Pi are available here.

The source code for Rpanion-Server is available on GitHub, where bug reports and Pull Requests are welcome.

A installation and configuration walkthrough is on YouTube too.

thanks for you work on this ! This helps a lot to simplify the setup of companion computers.

How would you see your tool in contrast to other similar projects like Blue-OS? It does similar things and also have web based ui.

  • Which features do you have which blue-os doesnt?
  • Is your framework less complicated / intrusive to run than blue-os?

It’s really great to see this. I’m pretty much going to make use of all the above listed enhancements!

Compared to BlueOS, Rpanion-server is simpler and more vehicle-type-agnostic.
