I have 2 different Bluecoats and 1 Ping 2 echosounder on each of them. I am trying to use 1 base station and laptop equipped with QGC and the ping viewer software to speak to both boats and Pings at the same time. If possible, how should I go about doing this?
Hi @millemr3 -
While QGC does support controlling multiple vehicles at the same time (must set there vehicle id to be different, and their IP addresses to not conflict), unfortunately PingViewer does not support connecting to multiple devices simultaneously.
You could either use the simplePingSurvey extension as detailed here, or use SonarView on each vehicle to view and monitor the data in separate tabs.
It sounds like you’re working on a cool project, make sure to share some pics of the dual operation to the Adventure Log section of the forum to impress us all!
