I’ve a [closed source] sensor system linked on a survey drone which makes use of an Ethernet interface. For connecting in to laptop, the producer handbook says:
Be certain that the unit is linked to the host laptop instantly with an
Ethernet cable. Alternatively each the unit and the host laptop should
be linked to the identical native community with IP addresses within the vary
of
192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.255. Be certain that no different laptop or system within the community has the IP tackle 192.168.1.100.
Then the handbook instructs me to Change my laptop’s Ethernet from DHCP to IPv4 with fastened tackle of 192.168.1.99
This fashion the system connects to my laptop and their offered program connects to it (my sensor has the IP of 192.168.1.111). I attempted to smell it utilizing Wireshark and came upon they merely discuss utilizing UDP packets.
Nonetheless, we want this system to be on a drone not less than 300 meters away, so we tried to check low-cost Halow bridges (a pair of TX and RX, documentation under).
I examined the bridges (TX to modem router for web and RX to my laptop) to check if I can entry web; it was profitable and I may get entry to some websites (oddly, some web sites did not load together with stackexchange.com).
However when connecting the bridge between my PC and Sensor (TX-RX, and RX-TX) this system cannot discover the sensor.
Additionally If I join the sensor utilizing this bridge to router (TX router, RX sensor), and join my laptop utilizing WiFi to router, this system nonetheless cannot get entry to sensor (did not change my laptop IP on wi-fi adapter to fastened worth).
- The folder containing each documentations is right here.
- I am not conscious if the bridge gadgets or the sensor system have Auto MDI-X or not
