Hi @harshmattoo9909 -
No need to even use two PCs -QGC lets you easily control two BlueBoats! Here are the steps to get it setup:

  1. Turn on BlueBoat 1, and install proxy extension. Use this to reach 192.168.2.4 (BlueBoat Radio, and adjust its IP address to 192.168.2.14.
  2. Navigate to BlueOS, and modify the static IP - change from192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.12.
  3. Under Autopilot Parameters, change the Mav System ID to a different # - increment by one or more.
  4. Turn on BlueBoat 2, and if not done already, follow standard radio setup instructions to connect it to the same BaseStation.
  5. Open QGC with your computer connected to the system with an IP of 192.168.2.1- both vehicles will connect, and you can switch between them via the dropdown!

If you need 2 computers to control instead of one, simply add a MavLink Endpoint to UDP Client target the second computer’s IP address.

You can also configure group formation / follow operation!
