MAVLink set-mode command interpretation does not check systemId...?

Posted by Søren Kuula on December 17, 2012 at 3:54pm

Hi,

I noticed that in ArduPlane 2.68/CGS_MAVLink.pde, line 1159 (about):

   case MAVLINK_MSG_ID_SET_MODE:

There is no call to mavlink_check_target.

Is that intended?

Doesn't it mean that if one has 2 UAVs in the same network (broadcast radio, multicast TCP/IP. whatever...) and one is connected to one of them in Mission Planner or similar, and one sends a change-mode to that one ... then both will change mode?

Regards

Soren

    Soren,

         I'm more on the copter side but I expect the same issue is there as well.  You may be right..but you know..i've never heard of anyone putting two UAVs on the same network.  I think the 3dr radio is probably the most widely used and it's just point to point with different UAVs on different links.

         I don't think the ground station software (at least the mission planner) could deal with more than one uav either.  I'm not 100% sure but I don't think so.  Of course all things are possible to add...but not sure we're there yet.
