2.6.1.1 “Comms with UAV”
At current version, primary telemetry data has three possible sources:
1. RS232 Telemetry data as supplied by U-Ground.
2. A previous flight recording file.
3. TCP/IP Telemetry received from another computer acting as a relay.
Only one source of primary telemetry can be active at a time, and only when connected
through RS232 to the paired U-Ground unit commands can be uploaded to the autopilot on
the aircraft, i.e. TCP/IP clients cannot command the UAV in the standard version
