How to Program ArduPilot 2.5 for Serial Communication with Raspberry Pi or any other computer system

Posted by Aakash Dawadee on January 13, 2014 at 3:17pm

Hello Everyone,

           I am quite new with ArduPilot. I was curious whether it is possible to program it? All I need is ArduPilot listening for some data communication at some port. Is it possible to generate serial communication between ArduPilot and Raspberry Pi? If it is possible, which port should I use? I think some of the ports are already used for Telemetry and GPS. Moreover, how do I program ArduPilot? Do I need to change its firmware code? Which program do I use to program it?

           It would be great if you could help with example.

           Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Aakash

    Hello,Aakash
    I am looking forward to do something similar to you.
    What i have been able to till now is
    1.Install Ser2net package on raspberry pi by referring to http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/need-help-for-serial-comunication...
    but there is no information after this ? It would great help if someone can add next steps to access data from APM <--->Raspberry pi or from Raspberry pi<--->APM.

    Thanks

    If you want to send it commands, look at the Mavlink protocol.
