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.
