Hi,
Is there a way to configure DroneNet to operate as a regular Serial to Ethernet translator (+switch) rather than PPP?
i.e. - configuring the serial port to MavLink and not PPP
Thanks
At the moment, the firmware that runs on DroneNet is actually not written by us. Instead it is written by the folks at the Ardupilot program. This means we’re limited in how much we can support that firmware. If you are having issues with using PPP, then it is best to first post to the Ardupilot forum (https://discuss.ardupilot.org/). They are quite responsive but if you don’t get anything, let me know and I can nag them.
Ultimately, we plan to write our own firmware on this device that we can support. That will include a traditional serial ↔ ethernet functionality, that does not rely on PPP. However that may not be ready until February 2026.
