1.8.1.2

Port baud rate

Optional.

Name:

[prefix].[port index].baud.[baud index] = [baud]

Description:

Baud rate for port opening. [baud index] is an optional arbitrary name used when it is necessary

to open the same serial port using multiple baud rates. [port index] is an arbitrary port indexing name.

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.serial_port.1.baud.1 = 9600

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.serial_port.1.baud.2 = 57600

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.serial_port.2.baud = 38400

1.8.1.3

Excluded port name

Optional.

Name:

[prefix].exclude.[exclude index] = [regular expression]

Description:

Ports which should not be used for vehicle access by this VSM. Port names are defined by a

[regular expression] which can be used to define just a single port or create a port filtering regular expression.
Filter is case insensitive on Windows. [exclude index] is a arbitrary indexing name used when more than one
exclude names are defined.

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.serial_port.exclude.1 = /dev/ttyS.

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.serial_port.exclude = com1

1.8.1.4

Serial port arbiter

Optional.

Name:

[prefix].use_serial_arbiter = [yes

|

no]

Description:

Enable (yes) or disable (no) serial port access arbitration between VSMs running on the same

machine. It is recommended to have it enabled to avoid situation when multiple VSMs try to open the same
port simultaneously.

Default:

yes

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.serial_port.use_serial_arbiter = no

1.8.2

TCP connection configuration

Optional. VSM which communicates with vehicles over TCP should define at least one network connection, other-
wise VSM will not try to connect to vehicles. [prefix] is unique for each VSM.

1.8.2.1

IP-address for outgoing TCP connection

Optional.

Name:

[prefix].detector.[con index].address = [IP-address]

Description:

IP-address of vehicle to connect to. Typically used for vehicle simulators.

Example:

vehicle.ardupilot.detector.1.address = 10.0.0.111
