      Hello,
      I have successfully connected an external flight controller that utilizes Ardupilot to VOXL2 via UART.
      Could you please guide me on how to access information (such as GPS and IMU Data) of the external flight controller at VOXL2?
      I apologize if these questions seem basic; I am still a novice developer.

        @황인호 You'll need access to the Mavlink messages coming over the UART. This is done with the voxl-mavlink-server application. The gitlab repository is here: https://gitlab.com/voxl-public/voxl-sdk/services/voxl-mavlink-server and some documentation is here: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-external-flight-controller/#voxl-sdk-software-setup

          Thank you for your prompt response.
          I have an additional question.
          I have set up the system as you instructed and successfully established a UDP connection for telemetry information using QGC and Mesh (DoodleLab).
          In this state, is it possible to install a separate application on VOXL2 to read telemetry information?
          The reason is that I would also like to store GPS and IMU information within VOXL2 additionally.

            @황인호 Yes, you can create an application that interfaces with voxl-mavlink-server to get the desired Mavlink messages.
