Rpanion-server 0.8 Released

We are happy to announce the release of Version 0.8.0 of Rpanion-server!

Rpanion-Server is an Open-Source software package for a managing the companion computer (such as the Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson) connected to an ArduPilot or PX4-based flight controller. It will run on most Linux-based systems.

Rpanion-Server consists of a node.js webserver for the user interface and mavlink-router for routing MAVLink telemetry from the connected flight controller. GStreamer handles low latency video streaming from any connected cameras. There are also modules for managing network connections, NTRIP streaming and viewing hardware information.

Version 0.8.0 adds the following major new features:

  • Add UDP video streaming
  • Support for Ubuntu on the Raspberry Pi and NVIDIA Jetson
  • Add fps option for video streaming
  • Ad-hoc wifi support
  • Wifi channel selection in AP mode
  • TCP server for MAVLink telemetry
  • NTRIP streaming support
  • UI more consistent

The documentation and pre-built disk images for the Raspberry Pi are available at https://www.docs.rpanion.com/software/rpanion-server.
