Hi, I’ve been toying around with autonomous drones for a while now but have hit a wall when it comes to developing and monitoring in real-time in-flight.
My intention is to have a fully autonomous drone but while in the development phase I am limited in how I can monitor the drone in-flight. I am able to ssh into the companion computer via wifi and run the takeoff and land python script from the command line, but I must stay within wifi range. I would now like the companion computer to issue the next step up in commands - i.e. travel to a waypoint then return, but once it leaves wifi range I can only monitor it via QGroundControl and I have no visibility of what the companion computer is doing.
Is there a way to SSH, or otherwise communicate with the companion computer using 915Mhz telemetry?
My drone has a 500mW 915Mhz Holybro telemetry module connected to the FC and the RPi is also connected ot the FC via a serial connection. I’m kind of hoping I can find a way to communicate with the RPi via SSH over the telemetry module to run commands and check system status etc. Does anyone know if this is possible, or if there is another way to achieve what I’m trying to achieve?
Much appreciated
