RSSI from 3DR radio, without using mavlink protocol

Posted by Matty on June 21, 2017 at 2:43am

Hello guys,

I'm using 3DR radio for controlling my rover with great success so far, but I would like to extract RSSI information from it. As I have already read, it is not that easy - I have to send mavlink heartbeat, and wait for reply, than parse the data and get RSSI. Is there any easier way to do this?

just listen for RADIO_RSSI message https://pixhawk.ethz.ch/mavlink/#RADIO_STATUS

if not sure how to use mavlink, start here http://qgroundcontrol.org/dev/mavlink_onboard_integration_tutorial

for an example on a microcontroller, check out source code for minimosd-extra on github.

No, mavlink is the only way.
