Link Connection Types "udpin" and "updout" to "UDP Client" and UDP Server"

Open rmackay9 opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

I think it would be better to rename the "udpin" and "updout" Connection types to the more standard "UDP Client" and "UDP Server" nomenclature. It's not a huge deal but for people who are new to networking (including myself) the non-standard words make me stop and pause and wonder which is which.

Similarly "tcpin" and "tcp" should probably be renamed to "TCP Server" and "TCP Client" respectively

Definitions are in pymavlink (https://github.com/ArduPilot/pymavlink/blob/master/mavutil.py#L1887), so we'd need to add the extra definitions there.

We'd also need to edit ./modules/lib/wx_addlink.py to update the GUI parts of MAVProxy.

Agree it'd be a sensible thing to do. I sometimes get confused too :)
