Cockpit Native - remote vehicle

Blue Robotics Software Cockpit
1

Hello,

I am new to Cockpit GCS and I had a question about vehicle connections. I was able to run Cockpit native on my MacBook and connect a Pixhawk Cube to the USB. Then I added the following to:

Settings → General → Vehicle network connect

serial:/dev/cu.usbmodem2133201:115200. ( ls -laF /dev/*usb*)

This works well. But I am interested in running Cockpit Native on my MacBook and connect to Pixhawk Cube connected to a Raspberry Pi 5 vis USB. I was able to run Mavlink-Server on the Pi and see the web page from Mavlink-Server.

Is it possible to connect Cockpit Native to a remote network connection? If so, how? The docs are not clear about this.

I had tried MAVLink2REST with ws://…..:8080/v1/rest/ws with no luck.

Hi @missing_link -

The standard approach to using Cockpit with a vehicle connected via network connection is to simpy specify the IP address of the vehicle - that should be all that is required! That of course assumes that the Pi is running BlueOS, with the packaged Mavlink-Server….
