Hi, im looking to connect my ardupilot Flight Controller via PPP to ethernet and onto Wifi. The DroneNet product looks the part. Is it shipping/available. What does it come with - cables/terminators. My Zeolot H7 FC is PPP for ethernet - will this work?
On PPP compatibility with H7 FC, @Andrew_Tridgell will likely be able to answer this. He’s with the Ardupilot project and is one of the developers on the actual firmware/software. Our head of software @aaron, can also chime in on that.
Is it shipping/available.
We get this question a lot. ETA depends on when the ardupilot firmware is done, and board bringup is complete. Probably around late July.
What does it come with - cables/terminators.
We get this question a lot too. It will probably come with the required cables for the ethernet ports (JST to RJ-45) and power (JST to tinned leads).
Currently we are debugging a hardware issue on DroneNet that is causing bootup to not work in some cases. ETA for release is estimated for end of July.
Hi, is the release of the DroneNet product still happening at the end of July?
Nope, pushed out until October now. We solved one of the issues but are getting unreliable pings with lost packets, which we need to resolve.
A lot of this work is new ground covered so we can’t guarantee a timeline.
