    Connect a Ground Station

    The dashboard's Telemetry card shows a MAVLink UDP endpoint. Add it as a comm link in your ground station and you get flight telemetry over the same cellular link as the video.

    QGroundControl

    Open Application Settings → Comm Links → Add, set Type to UDP, then add the device endpoint as a server. Use the Tailscale hostname to connect from anywhere, or falcon.local:14550 on the same network (on Windows use the Pi's IP instead of .local).

    QGroundControl Add New Link dialog: a UDP comm link pointing at the Aircast MAVLink endpoint

    For live video inside QGroundControl over cellular, use the Aircast QGroundControl build.

    Mission Planner

    Mission Planner works the same way. Add a UDP client connection to the same host and port (14550).

    Flash your Pi in about 5 minutes

    The Aircast Flasher downloads the image, sets Wi-Fi and hostname, and verifies the card.
