Description
FYI some confusion from this user on getting SITL set up: http://android.dronekit.io/getting_started.html#setting-up-sitl-on-linux
From user (to Phu):
"I think if the steps you listed above were included in http://android.dronekit.io/getting_started.html#setting-up-sitl-on-linux, it would clear up most of the confusion. There are some instructions on setting up SITL in those docs, but more guidance would certainly be helpful. The missing part for me was that I didn't know I had to connect using UDP in Tower."
The instructions that were provided additionally:
"UDP is the default type for Mavlink messages to get through.
Have you tried running SITL with an explicit --out IP address?
Steps: Connect your SITL machine and your Nexus to the same Wi-FI network.
Navigate to ardupilot/ArduCopter
Run:
sim_vehicle.sh -L 3DRBerkeley --console --out <MOBILE_DEVICE_IP>:14550
This says: run SITL with a default location of 3DRBerkeley and pip it out to MOBILE_DEVICE_IP.
Then on your Nexus, use a UDP connection, no need to specify the IP of vehicle.
