All,

I'm undertaking a drone project, and the entire VOXL was a little out of my price range. I purchased the flight core V2, and would like to use a raspberry pi 4 with a cellular sim hat on it. So I would want to connect to the aircraft via 5G connection and control the flight controller through that connection. Does anyone have any thoughts or ideas or experience on how this can be accomplished?

@Jw0719 We can't help too much but it would likely be similar to this: https://docs.px4.io/main/en/companion_computer/pixhawk_rpi.html but swapping the pixhawk for flight core

@tom I appreciate the help. My only other question would be which port on the Flight Core V2 would be best to connect the companion computer to? still the telem port? I for some reason had assumed the USB port would be best.

@Jw0719 See here how we setup an external flight controller (FCv2) with VOXL2: https://docs.modalai.com/voxl2-external-flight-controller/#add-on-boards

You'll want to connect to "J5" on FCv2 (TELEM2)
