Update the documentation for the tethering
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Hey,
After a discussion on discord I've find out how to do tethering with OpenHD, the documentation is not that verbose so I've enhanced it a little bit to give an average user to have video on the RPI (for example send it to goggles as I do) and raw video on the laptop for some advanced stuff (flying with waypoint in qground and having video).
It works like a charm!

2. Wait briefly.
3. Open a terminal and enter the command: `sudo arp-scan --interface=eth0 --localnet` (**Replace ETH0 with the correct adapter connected to the SBC**).
4. Test the connection by entering the SBC's IP address into your web browser; it should redirect you to the OpenHD web interface.
### Tethering

1. **Record IP Addresses:**
Once connected, note the IP addresses of both devices:
- **SBC IP**: For example, `10.42.0.118`
- **Laptop IP**: For example, `10.42.0.1`

2. **Configure Forwarding in OpenHD:**
SSH into the RPI (user and password is `openhd`).Open the `hardware.conf` file located in `/boot/openhd/` on your SBC. Modify the `NW_MANUAL_FORWARDING_IPS` IP address to point to your laptop’s IP:

```bash
# Specify additional IP address(es) for video and telemetry forwarding.
# OpenHD can detect external devices based on the connection and platform.
# Only applicable on ground units.

NW_MANUAL_FORWARDING_IPS = 10.42.0.1 # Replace with your Ground Station IP (laptop)
```

This setup will ensure that video and telemetry data are directed to your laptop's IP, enhancing your tethered OpenHD experience.
