Sean, thanks for the response and guidance.
Some terminology is still confusing for me but everything's working.
Quark has 2 wifi modes, Ad-hoc and Station. In ad-hoc mode, quark's IP address is fixed and it can only accept connections - like a server mode, I guess.
Station mode seems to equate to a client mode. In this mode Quark can connect to an access point (tinypilot) but use a self-assigned, fixed IP address (e.g. 192.168.14.25) for itself. Station mode config includes specifying a port (I left the default, 2000).
Quark connects to access point pypilot as 192.168.14.25, port 2000. I don't believe anything is delivered to tinypilot from quark on this connection.
AO has inbound connection from 192.168.14.25 (quark) on port 2000 and receives all of quark's output.
AO has inbound/outbound connection with tinypilot on port 20220. Through it, autopilot info is sent to tinypilot along with GPS info received from quark. Pitch, roll and heading messages are sent from tinypilot to AO
Hope to get everything reinstalled and final-tested on the boat as soon as weather permits.
