Ignis Operations Manual
Drone Amplified
This option also exists in case there's a bug in the app's connection code. Selecting this
option and then going back to your desired connection option should reset the state of
the connection.
Herelink Wifi (running Contrast app):
This is the default option. This option should be
selected when the Ignis Px4 app is running on a tablet that is connected to a Herelink's
Wifi Hotspot, and the Herelink is running our Contrast app.
Herelink Wifi (running any GCS app):
This option should be selected when the Ignis Px4
app is running on a tablet that is connected to a Herelink's Wifi hotspot, and the Herelink
is running the QGroundControl app, or some other 3rd party flight control app. The
Herelink has a system for interleaving the messages from both flight control apps, and
sharing telemetry with both. This can confuse the flight controller a bit, and it'll report
diagnostics like "Partner ID Mismatch", so we don't recommend this configuration. We
haven't seen any problems with this configuration that actually affect functionality, but
use it at your own risk.
Herelink (This app is running on the Herelink):
This option should be selected when
you only have a Herelink, and you're running the Ignis Px4 app on it directly.
Microhard:
This option should be selected when you're using an IF1200 with a Microhard
radio, and you have a USB-to-Ethernet converter connecting your tablet to the radio.
Dragonlink Wifi:
This option should be selected when you're using a Dragonlink radio, and
the tablet is connected to its WiFi hotspot. Dragonlink radios also support Bluetooth and
USB connections.
Same USB Serial connection as the video feed:
This option is deprecated. We made a
very hacky system for streaming video and MAVLink over a 12MHz serial connection,
and this option was what you used for that.
All connected USB devices will be displayed below these connection options. A USB
device must have both In and Out bulk data endpoints for the app to connect to it.
Otherwise it will say "Device does not support bidirectional communication".
Any paired Bluetooth devices that support serial communication will be displayed below
these connection options. Note that this is just a list of devices you've paired to, and doesn't
indicate which devices are on and nearby. If you haven't paired with your radio yet, go back
to the Useful Android Settings, and scan for bluetooth devices.
