MAVROS remote GCU_URL

Navio / Edge Flight stack
1

Hi all,

Is the GCU URL only allowed to be local? 192… or 10.0.0.xx

Can I set the GCU_URL to be the public IP address of another network? If I set the Navio up to run from my home wifi, can I run my GCS on a laptop that runs on my phone hotspot and stream data to it?

What’s the code I would need to enter?

gcs_url:=udp://:14551@196.xxxxxxxx:14550

Thanks

Hi @ADCurry,

There should be no issue with connecting to the GCS with public IP. You need to specify the TELEM option in /etc/default/arducopter:

TELEM1="-A tcp:<GCS_public_IP>:14550"

Hi Svetlana, thank you for this answer. This + enabling port fowarding on my friend’s home wifi router seemed to do the trick.
