Thanks to the Team for this spectacular SoftMod!
Antenna:
UMTS LTE Antenna (connector CRC9) - I found them on Amazon ;-)
Guidelines:
Web Accounts
Glympse
→ Optional, if you want GPS real-time location tracking using Glympse App
Create a free Glympse Developer account at https://developer.glympse.com/account...
Pushbullet
→ Optional, if you decide not to use Glympse, you won't need this.
When using Glympse, the Disco will send you a Glympse link once it's connected to a 4G/LTE network. This link can either be sent from your Disco via SMS (charges might apply) and/or a Push Notification (this is where Pushbullet comes into play).
Create a free Pushbullet account at https://www.pushbullet.com
ZeroTier
→ Required to establish a bi-directional connection between Skycontroller 2 and Disco, regardless of network topology

Software
You need a PC for the initial setup (to load the softmod to the Disco and Skycontroller 2). These instructions should work on the latest OS versions of Windows, macOS and GNU/Linux.
Latest softmod scripts and binaries:
https://github.com/uavpal/disco4g/arc...
Use an FTP tool (e.g. FileZilla https://filezilla-project.org/downloa...) to upload the softmod to your Disco.
Connect via FTP to 192.168.42.1 (no username/password required)
You have to set the transfer type to Binary (not ASCII). In FileZilla under Edit → Settings... → Transfers → FTP: File Types → Default transfer type → change from Auto to Binary.
Transfer the "disco4g-master" or "disco4g-x.y" folder to the "/internal_000" folder on the Disco.
On Disco firmware 1.7.0 and newer: Double press the Disco's power button to enable the telnet server.
Open a Command Prompt (Windows)/Terminal (macOS/Linux) and Copy/Paste the following commands manually to install the softmod.
telnet 192.168.42.1
(If you get an error under Windows, make sure the Telnet Client is installed https://www.technipages.com/windows-1...)
mv /data/ftp/internal_000/disco4g-* /tmp/disco4g
chmod +x /tmp/disco4g/*/*_install.sh
/tmp/disco4g/disco/disco_install.sh
/tmp/disco4g/skycontroller2/skycontroller2_install.sh
reboot
Turn off Skycontroller 2 manually
Complete the registration on Zerotier.com as in the video.
