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.

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).

The Aircast Flasher downloads the image, sets Wi-Fi and hostname, and verifies the card — no terminal.
