* - Linux computer connected to the vehicle via USB
- ``/dev/ttyUSB0``
* - Linux computer connected to the vehicle via Serial port (RaspberryPi example)
- ``/dev/ttyAMA0``

.. note::
To connect on a serial port you may also need to reduce the baud rate to 57600
- e.g. ``vehicle=connect('/dev/ttyAMA0', baud=57600)``
- ``/dev/ttyAMA0`` (also set ``baud=57600``)
* - SITL connected to the vehicle via UDP
- ``127.0.0.1:14550``
* - OSX computer connected to the vehicle via USB
- ``dev/cu.usbmodem1``
* - Windows computer connected to the vehicle via USB (in this case on COM14)
- ``com14``

* - Windows computer connected to the vehicle using a 3DR Telemetry Radio on COM14
- ``com14`` (also set ``baud=57600``)

.. note::
The default baud rate may not be appropriate for all connection types (check this
if you can connect via a GCS but not DroneKit).
You can specify a different rate using the :py:func:`baud <dronekit.connect>`
parameter when connecting. For example: ``vehicle=connect('com14', baud=57600)``.

.. tip::

The strings above are the same as you would use if connecting with MAVProxy. For other options see the
