    Hello, I am following this QuickStart Guide, but my QGC is unable to connect to the Sentinel drone.

    1. The drone is successfully connected to the WiFi

    ifconfig # On the Drone

    ifconfig # On the Host Laptop

    dbf8b1ed-43f8-4a85-abfa-4e93baa3022f-image.png

    1. I can Ping from the drone to my Host laptop, and vice-versa

    1. I mentioned the Host IP Address inside the voxl-vision-px4.conf

    Still, when running the QGC on Host, it shows disconnected

      @Raza-Rizvi can you make sure that there's no firewall setup blocking the connection.

      Could you also provide the output of

      systemctl status -l voxl-vision-px4

        Yes, the firewall is disabled.

        Here's the output to the mentioned command:

        114eda2f-a6a6-4f5e-89a8-299de73faed5-image.png

        The mavlink server is also running

          @Raza-Rizvi are you connected over softap or station?
          Can you ssh into the drone?

                  @Raza-Rizvi That error message "voxl-mavlink-server does not appear to be running" isn't normal. You may want to run through voxl-configure-mpa again, set your host IP in voxl-vision-px4.conf, then reboot your drone.
