FAQPage Schema
How do I monitor real-time rocket telemetry from an RFD 900x radio?

You can monitor real-time rocket telemetry by using this ground station interface to connect to an RFD 900x radio-modem, receiving and displaying live flight data during operations.

What is needed to receive and transmit commands to a rocket using a ground station?

Receiving and transmitting commands requires an RFD 900x radio-modem and RP2040 Embassy firmware to handle UART and USB CDC communication for the ground station interface.

Can I send flight commands to a rocket while monitoring its telemetry data?

Yes, you can send commands to manage the rocket's flight profile while simultaneously monitoring its real-time telemetry data and system health status through the mission control interface.

Does the ground station support tracking rocket system health and status checks?

The ground station supports tracking rocket system health by performing real-time system status checks, allowing operators to monitor flight performance and respond to issues as they arise.

What is the best way to establish a connection for rocket telemetry monitoring?

The best way to establish a connection for rocket telemetry monitoring is to use the ground station skill to initialize the RFD 900x radio link and start receiving real-time flight data.

Do I need RP2040 Embassy firmware for UART and USB CDC communication with the radio?

Yes, RP2040 Embassy firmware is required to handle the UART and USB CDC communication necessary for interfacing between the ground station and the RFD 900x radio-modem.
