Mark, this is a good project and we should support it. Right now there is no connection between camera and APM telemetery, so photos do not have data embedded. The current APM com protocol is here, but we'll be switching to MAVlink soon. 

 

Here's the relevant position and attitude data from the current binary protocol.

Message ID

Request type/Rate

Name (Typical rate)

Payload length (# of bytes)

Payload Details

 

0x02	Constant/10Hz	Attitude Data (10hz)	6	roll(int16) (degrees*100), pitch(int16) (degrees x 100), yaw(uint16) (degrees x 100)
0x03		Location Data (GPS) (1-4hz)	18	Lat(int32) (decimal degrees x 10^7), Lon(int32), Alt_MSL(int32) (meters x 100), ground_speed(uint16) (M/S x 100), ground_course(uint16) (degrees x 100), Time of Week (uint32) (milliseconds)

Chris, do you know if the next version of the code for the Arducopter will include that data?

Thanks!

Sorry Chris, I wanted to know if the next release will have the data embedded as Mark asked, not the date. Thanks!

Mauro, I haven't had a chance to focus on adding support for ArduCopter to Palentier yet.  That being said, I do not believe the ArduCopter programmers will need to do anything on their end.  Should just be programming on Palentier's side of things. I'll bump it up a couple of notches on my todo list.

 

Thanks!
