The DeltaQuad Controller can also be used to host a WiFi hotspot. When the DeltaQuad Controller is hosting a mobile hotspot it will have no internet connectivity and LTE modes will be disabled.

  • To enable the WiFi hotspot on the DeltaQuad Controller, enter the Android settings and activate the Mobile Hotspot.

  • Go to "Tethering & portable" hotspot.

  • Enable "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot" and click on "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot" to choose a name, the encryption type, and the password for the hotspot.

  • Click on "Save". The controller hotspot is now active.

  • Connect the Camera Control Laptop to the hotspot of the DeltaQuad Controller.

The IP address of the DeltaQuad Controller is needed. The steps to identify the hotspot IP address differ from when a Wi-Fi network is used for the connection.

  • Open the "User" folder on the desktop of the Camera Control Laptop.

  • Navigate to the folder "dqnav" and open it.

  • Locate the file "Connection Manage.py".

  • Right-click on the file and open it with the Text Editor application.

  • Within the Text Editor window navigate to line 71. Select and copy the IP address.

  • The stated IP address needs to be filled into the blank field of the Connection Manager on the Camera Control Laptop. Select the option Wi-Fi hotspot and click on Connect.

  • On the Camera Control Laptop open CCA3. A connection should be established within a few seconds.
