Connect the MSP432 launchpad with the launchpad via the 8-pin DIN connector {{:orb:lp_mainboard_jtag.jpg?400|}} Open APM planner. If not done already, check File->Advanced mode. Click Communication -> Add Link -> Serial and configure the settings as below (Your serial port may have a different name, just try all of them if you're not sure). Click on Connect. {{:orb:apm_serial_config.png?200|}} APM planner should now receive [[http://qgroundcontrol.org/mavlink/start|Mavlink Messages]] from the mainboard. Play with the menu items to visualize them (Tool Widgets -> Mavlink Inspector and Primary Flight Display are a good start) ==== Rover connected via Ethernet ==== To be able to communicate via Ethernet, your computer must be setup to have a static IP address on its Ethernet port (or on the USB-Ethernet adapter). * IP Address: 192.168.2.1 * Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 * (leave other parameters blank) Once connected via Ethernet, you will be able to use APM planner. Please note that the **Rover has the static IP 192.168.2.19** and the **Field Station has 192.168.2.18**. The Octanis build of APM planner has a switch in the upper right corner. This switch allows the operator to toggle the sending of commands to either Field Station (Net+Radio) or to the Rover (Net), which is important to note when sending waypoints. orb/config_fpspc.txt Last modified: 6 years agoby raffael
