Hi all!


I am unable to connect Sphinx simulator to Qgroundcontrol.

Both Sphinx and Qgroundcontrol run on the same Ubuntu PC, without any physical drone. I am able to control simulated Sphinx drone via QDronectrl, but not with Qgroundcontrol, it just wont connect

I tryed to add UDP ports 14550, 14560, 5353, 9988, 5504 and 5505 (because they were used by Sphinx simulator).

I enabled also LinkMangerLog and LinkManagerVerboseLog in the Qgrouncontrol->Console->SetLogging. And it detects the simulated drone Anafi AI:

[D] at …/…/qgroundcontrol/qgroundcontrol/src/comm/LinkManager.cc:447 - “Found Zero-Conf: “_arsdk-091a._udp.local.” “ANAFI Ai 000000” “ANAFI-Ai.local.” 44444 QMap((”{“device_id”:“000000000000000000”}", “”))"


Please help me with that:

Which type of connection should I establish with Qgroundcontrol, TCP or UDP?

Which ports exactly should I open in Qgroundcontrol?

Am I doing anything else wrong in order to have the Sphinx simulate drone connected to QGroundControl?


Ubuntu 20.04 Focal

Sphinx version: 2.11

Qgroundcontrol: v4.2.4


Thanks a lot for your help!
