Rpanion-Server
Rpanion Electronics provides the open-source Rpanion-server software as an easy method to configure a companion computer. It is a web-based GUI that allows the user to configure network settings, telemetry routing and video streaming.
Rpanion-server is designed to complement the Pi-Connect Lite V2 boards. The Pi-Connect is not required to run the software, though.
For further information and downloads for Rpanion-server, see the documentation site.
Rpanion-server has been designed for the Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson computers. It should also work on other Linux-based computers with a node.js (V16 or later) environment.
MAVLinkLinkTester (MLLT)
MLLT is a Python-based tool, designed to measure the reliability (outages, packet loss, ordering and latency) of MAVLink streams. It was originally created to test cellular/satellite connections, but can work with any arbitrary TCP/UDP/UART MAVLink connection. This gives you the data you need to make informed decisions about your communication infrastructure.
Key Features:
- Monitor multiple MAVLink links simultaneously (UDP, TCP, Serial)
- Real-time latency measurement and packet loss tracking
- Outage detection with configurable thresholds
- Detailed CSV exports with histogram analysis
- Control individual MAVLink stream rates for different message types
Whether you’re testing RF links, cellular connections, or wired networks, MLLT helps you understand exactly how your MAVLink communications perform under real-world conditions.
Documentation and source code is available on Github.
