Quick Start

Vozilla GCS app allows you to manage your Micro VPS device. In this section, we go over connecting your computer to the Micro VPS and taking a look at the core features of the Vozilla GCS app.

Before starting make sure that you have the following items:

• Micro VPS device, powered

• Ethernet cable

• Windows computer

• Vozilla GCS app installed

Connecting to Micro VPS

Make sure you installed the Vozilla GCS app on your Windows/Linux laptop following Installation before proceeding.

Vozilla GCS app supports connectivity over Ethernet and MAVLink to the Micro VPS. You will need to edit your computer Ethernet network interface configuration in order to establish a connection to the Micro VPS.

By default we have the edge device configured to a static ip address of 192.168.218.100. If you change this default address, your network interface settings will need to match the subnet of the different ip address.

If using the default ip, follow the instructions below to configure your computer to communicate with the Micro VPS over Ethernet.

Windows

Here are the IP settings for the network interface:

• IP address: 192.168.218.10

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• Default gateway: 192.168.218.1

On your Windows computer:

• Open Windows Settings (Windows key + I)

• Click on "Network & Internet"

• Click on "Ethernet"

• Click on your network adapter

• Under "IP assignment", click "Edit"

• Select "Manual" and turn on IPv4

• Enter the IP settings shown above

• Click "Save"

Linux

Using another ip address for you edge device

If your system requires a specific ip address for the compute that differs from the default address of 192.168.218.100, you can still connect to it with Vozilla. When you open the app, navigate to the system tab and change the connection url to the correct ip address or hostname.

Connecting with MAVLink

Unless you have your system setup to route ippackets through your radio connection, when in the air you won't be able to access the edge device's REST server. Essential functions like uploading maps, setting the home position, and updating firmware cannot be done over MAVLink.

Vozilla can still be used to display important information about the system through the MAVLink feature.

At this stage, you should be able to open the Vozilla GCS app and connect to your Micro VPS from your laptop over Ethernet.
