Connecting secondary external PC to BlueOS

General Discussion
1

I have a blueROV which we have removed the tether from. Currently, I have the raspberry pi running blueOS and an Orange Pi on board. They transfer small amount of data back and forth over serial connection, but I would love to be able to move all my computations over to the orange pi and leave the raspberry pi to handle only BlueOS webpage hosting. The problem is that I don’t know how to make this happen

I need to make the orange pi a mavlink endpoint so it can send/receive mavlink data, but I also want it to connectable on WiFi still.

I want the ability to view the blueOS page from raspberry pi on my topside PC and be able to ssh into my orange pi from topside pc. With the two onboard pc’s sharing mavlink data

Is this possible at all? Been looking for a solution and haven’t found one yet

Hi @cmarq,

This should definitely be possible, as long as the Orange Pi is on the same network as the Raspberry Pi (e.g. plugged into the same ethernet switch, or sharing a shared wifi network (including if the Orange Pi is connected to the Raspberry Pi’s hotspot)).

You could connect your Orange Pi to one of the existing BlueOS MAVLink Endpoints, or configure another one if you want to :slight_smile:
