Unable to send GPS data from Laptop to Pixhawk via USB Cable

[Abdul_Majeed]

Hey Experts, Hope you’re doing well.

• We are working on a project to create an Antenna Tracker for UAVs using GPS data from the drone.
• The drone transmits GPS data via AirLink (UDP) to the skydroid H16 Remote Control, which is then connected to a GCS (Laptop) via an ethernet cable. We are using the MAVProxy protocol for this.
• On the GCS, MAVProxy indicates that both links are functioning properly, meaning that there is a connection with both the H16 and the Pixhawk mounted on the Antenna Tracker.
• The Pixhawk on the Antenna Tracker has the necessary Antenna Tracker firmware installed.
• Our current obstacle is the inability to send the received GPS data from the UAV to the Pixhawk mounted on the Antenna Tracker via USB cable.
• Specifically, we are having trouble sending the GPS data received by the GCS to the Pixhawk via a USB cable that is connected to the GCS on one end and the power port of the Pixhawk on the other end (located on the right side of the Pixhawk).
• We are seeking a solution that would allow the Pixhawk to receive GPS data from the GCS.
• Any assistance you can provide on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

I think I answer to this question on another thread…
The easiest is to implement mavproxy on the GCS portable, so you read MavLink stream from the Ethernet and redirect to local net 127.0.0.1 for the GCS and out to COM port related to USB FTDI converter goring to serial port of PixHawk

Something like that (Master address will change according to your setup)
mavproxy.py --master=tcp:192.168.1.1:14550 --out=udp:127.0.0.1:14560 --out=COM17,57600

and you have to connect the Laptop GCS to port 14560 as the 14550 is already active signal from Ethernet
