streaming video to QGC over LTE
-
@groupo Hey I think I actually got this one on my own
-
I set default_uri in voxl-mavcam-manager.conf to the IP of my drone on the LTE network (rtsp://10.0.1.1:8900/live)
-
I had to modify /etc/modalai/network_interfaces_preferences.txt to include wwan0. I put it at the top of the list, but I believe so long as it is above wlan0 it should be fine for my use case.
Is there a better solution to this? Should wwan0 not be in that .txt? TIA
-
-
@groupo any traction on this? does step 1 actually impact anything with regard to the stream from voxl-streamer?
-
@groupo I updated to 1.3.3 and notice wwan0 is still not in network_interfaces_preferences.txt. Should it be?
-
@groupo I'll add it, it's an uncommon use-case which is why it hasn't been in there.
-
@tom Thanks Tom!

This change will make it into our next release (1.3.4)

@tom do you think it should go above wlan0? If someone was using the drone only via LTE (BVLOS) they may not have access to the WIFI network. Wlan0 by default exists as it comes up when the drone turns on (at least in ap mode, maybe not in station mode?) versus wwan0 which only comes up if it is connected to a network
-
@groupo The problem is that wwan0 will also get an IP by default if a 5G modem is installed whether or not it is actually connected to a network so I wouldn't want that to take priority over wlan0.
Its tough to come up with a single solution that would work for each user so I have to choose the one that works for the majority of cases, some users may have to manually edit the file to fit their use case
-
@tom oh i see. I did not know it would happen either way. That makes sense then. I assume then eth0/usb0 are not given an Ip then because nothing is plugged into them?
-
@groupo Exactly
