Setup with Herelink

In this example:

• Using ethernet telemetry to control Vio (gimbal and camera)

• Using HDMI to do video streaming from Vio to QGroundControl

  

Step 1: CREATE CONFIG FILES ON MICRO SDCARD

1.1 Create file for set up a static ip address for Vio

File name: payload_setup.txt

File Content:

/*PAYLOAD CONFIGURATION*/

# IP address of Payload
VIO_ADDR = 192.168.144.200
NETMASK = 255.255.255.0

# IP adress of UDP stream receiver
STREAM_VIDEO_TO = 192.168.144.104:5000

On the above example:

• Vio IP: 192.168.144.200

• Vio stream video to the IP: 192.168.144.104 at port 5000 -> we not use video streaming via ethernet

NOTE: when Vio starts up without detecting the file payload_setup.txt in the memory card, Vio will automatically reset to the default IP (192.168.50.100)

1.2 Create Config Herelink Ethernet File

File Name: vio_herelink_eth.conf

File Content: (Copy exactly below)

# Herelink air-unit endpoint
# This endpoint will connect to Herelink air-unit
[UdpEndpoint Ethernet_MavIn_Herelink]
Mode = Normal
Address = 192.168.144.10
Port = 14552
Group = Mavlink_In

# Ground control station endpoint
# Please setup an UDP commlink on QGroundControl to this endpoint
[UdpEndpoint GCS_Ethernet_Endpoint]
Mode = Normal
Address = 192.168.144.11
Port = 14565
Group = Mavlink_Out

NOTE:: After adding two files "payload_setup.txt" and "vio_herelink_eth.conf" to micro SDcard, please reboot the Vio to apply changes.

Step 2: SETUP ON QGROUNDCONTROL APP

2.1 Disable all AutoConnect in General.

2.2 Navigate to Comm Links, add new Comm link for Ethernet telemetry

2.3 Create the new link as following

On the above example:

Name: Vio
Type: UDP
Listening Port: 14565
Target Hosts: 192.168.144.200:14565 (Vio's IP)

2.4 Check the new Ethernet connection

• Connect the HDMI to Herelink v1.1

• Video Stream info will show as below after configuring successfully

(Do not change)

Video Source: RTSP Video Stream
RTSP URL: rtsp://192.168.144.10:8554/H264Video
Aspect Ratio: 1.777777

Successful connection
