Raspberry Pi Forums

Hello together,
I'm recently working on a RaspberryPi Project operating on my drone and giving the flight controller some commands.

An important part is to connect my PC with the raspberry in the field.
The plan is to access the drone with VNC and/or SSH in near distance with the WiFi from the Pi.

I already managed to create an access point on the Pi3 with the following guide:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... s-point.md

I also found a helpful HowTo from a User in this forum who is using a 4G Stick for his Access point. I will try this as well:
viewtopic.php?p=722645
Dreaming of unlimited range

So what i want to do now is the following:
- is an Ethernet cable plugged in, than use it for Access Point (e.g. Programming at home)
- is and LTE-Stick plugged in, than use it for Access Point (e.g.For a long range flight)
- nothing of both? All right, still create Access Point (e.g. playing around in the field)

Can anyone help me with that?

So long,
Eric

Which access point did you use? NAT or bridge?

Hello Tim,
Good question.I used bridge.

In the interface file:

Code: Select all

#Bridge Setup
auto br0
face br0 itnet manual
bridge_ports eth0 wlan0

In the hostapd.conf:

Code: Select all

interface=wlan0
bridge=br0

I splitten this Thread in two. Does make more sense.

The connectivity issue when the pi is not connected to the internet is moved to here: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=210602
