1 - Setup and Connecting to Astro
This quick tutorial will walk you through how to setup ArcGIS Flight (formerly Site Scan) with your Astro
Things you need:
Astro
Pilot Pro with Herelink / Doodle Labs
iPad w/ ArcGIS Flight installed
Ethernet Cable
Ethernet adapter (Lightning or USB-C depending on your iPad)
Setting up Hardware Connections
Connect the Pilot Pro to your iPad via an Ethernet adapter
Setup iPad Networking
Go to the iPad's settings, navigate to Ethernet, and then choose your adapter to get to the IP configuration.
On the iPad, configure the IPv4 address to a manual IP with the following settings:
IP: 192.168.144.150
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Configure ArcGIS Flight
Open ArcGIS Flight and allow permissions as it asks for them:
Bluetooth Permissions
Location Permissions
Network Permissions
If you don't give Network Permissions, ArcGIS Flight will not be able to find the Astro
Fixing Network Permissions
The Astro communicates to the iPad via it's configured network. If you did not grant local network permissions during the permission pop-up, then you will need to enable ArcGIS Flight manually under "Privacy & Security > Local Network"
Connecting the Astro
Make sure that you have "Freefly Astro Wired" Selected as the vehicle in the top right corner of ArcGIS Flight.
If you don't have the Astro connect, please try to choose another vehicle and then re-choose "Freefly Astro Wired". If it still doesn't work, please try to close out of ArcGIS Flight and reopening
