      Is there a way to connect VOXL2 PX4 to QGC via USB? On the VOXL Flight this was done through the J1006 connector.

      In addition to this, is there a J1003 (Connector on the VOXL Flight) equivalent on the VOXL2. This would allow me to connect a Crossfire Nano RX to it.

      Thanks!

        Not at this time.... but it's something I'm wanting to try out!!

        I'm not clear if it's possible, but what I'm thinking of trying is UDP tunneling over ADB.

        ADB supports TCP port forwarding, but our traffic from vehicle to QGC is UDP.... so I believe we can try a tunnel?

        Here's the two links I was looking at trying:

        https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#forwardports
        http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~lennox/udptunnel/

        Throwing it out here in case someone already knows if this is possible or not! If it is, I think it's an easy way to get the connection going....

          @rohitpillai Not exactly what you're looking for but you could also use one of the supported ethernet dongles attached via. USB to JST to a VOXL2 add-on board and route PX4 traffic through there to your ground station. As seen here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-hardware-setup/#ethernet-connectivity
