Is there any information concerning connecting VOXL 2 (running Ardupilot 4.7 as per the documentation) to Mission Planner over UDP? Whatever I try, MP doesn't receive any heartbeats back. The mavlink-server and voxl-ardupilot are correctly running and even voxl-ardupilot reports at the moment that I connect using Mission Planner a new connection with GCS.

@ Kessie Excellent, glad to hear you got it working! And thanks for adding the details on what you had to do to the posting!

@Eric-Katzfey, @Randy-Mackay After some more tests, we managed to get everything working.

Mission Planner on clean Windows device still had port 14550 blocked for some reason.
After a full reboot, it worked with initiating connection from the drone to the GCS.

On Mac OS, using Mission Planner via Parallels Desktop : Here, you'll need to add port forwarding of UDP Port 14550.
We've used a Shared Network and it also connect automatically from the drone to the GCS.

Thanks for your insights!
