Have a problem in that I can't connect my my drone in the field via ground control without a wifi router and ac power. Makes my drone pretty useless atm.

Looking for solutions for connecting to the rpi3 directly from a pc wifi and the pi 3 wifi. Just need to make changes in the field via mission planner.

I've not found any solutions for the pi3 directly and mostly outdated and messy looking ones for the pi2. I did just find this this script for a pi2 for those out there with a pi2. It seems a very easy solution if it works with the emlid build.

Here's a direct d/l link to the script that installs it.

If anyone has a solution for the pi3 I'm all ears, I've searched and have found nothing. Pretty essential stuff for working in the field witouth ac power I'd have thought. As we're unable to connect to the pi via usb. Can't change any parameters or flight paths without a router. Or am I missing some a way or connecting to mission planner in the field.

Thanks
