4.1.2 TCP Connection

4.2 Connecting Botlink Relay to Mission Planner

4.2.1 UDP Connection

UDP setup is recommended, and a little bit simpler since you don’t have to configure anything in Mission
Planner. The default UDP port in Mission Planner can automatically connect to Botlink Relay, but you do
have to set this up in a specific order. First, power on the drone (which includes XRD2 and flight
controller). Second, configure Botlink Relay (shown below), and press the blue start button. Once
connected, Mission Planner should automatically connect to the drone and begin downloading the
parameters.
