WiFi Configuration
The Botlink XRD can be configured to connect to a WiFi network to provide connectivity in areas
where cellular connections are poor, such as the inside of certain office buildings.
Configuration is handled by placing a file named
config.toml
on the SDCard.
NOTE
The contents of the config.toml file are case sensitive, and require
quotes around the wifi network name and password.
To configure your XRD to connect to a WiFi network, do the following:
1. Power down the drone
2. Remove the microSD card from the Botlink XRD, if installed
3. Insert the microSD card into your computer
4. Open or create the config.toml file on the SDCard
5. Add content to the file as shown, substituting your network name and password for the
placeholder values
6. Save the file
7. Remove the microSD card from your computer
8. Insert the microSD card into the microSD card reader on your Botlink XRD
9. After the system is powered on, your device should be connected to the WiFi network
