Send mavlink via Microhard's ethernet port

1

Hi everyone,

I’m working with two Auterion Microhard PMDDL2450 units, a Ground Unit and an Air Unit. Currently, I’m sending a MAVLink heartbeat from an STM32 via the UART port on the Ground Unit, which transmits the message to the Air Unit. I’ve confirmed that the heartbeat is being sent because I can connect the Air Unit to QGroundControl via the UART port.

However, I’d like to switch to using the Ethernet port on the Air Unit to send the heartbeat to my Pixhawk P6X, while still using the UART port on the Ground Unit. Has anyone had experience with this kind of setup? Any advice would be appreciated!

No experience sorry. But the Pixhawk-side networking stuff should be just like this: PX4 Ethernet Setup | PX4 Guide (main)

@hamishwillee is correct. It’s just networking. Assign ip addresses. Ensure everything is on the same subnet and then create a UDP link in QGC/AMC. Done this countless times in varying flavors and always the same. Will be easy for you once you think of it as basic networking endpoints.

That said, since you have an auterion product, guarantee there’s a doc somewhere on how to but it’s all the same to do.
