Raspberry Pi slave to Ardupilot

Hi,

I am trying to set up an arducopter with a raspberry pi that has a camera and can track a green object. I want the Pi to act as a slave to the ardupilot: the ardupilot will read position information from the Pi and then adjust the controls accordingly.

I am trying to use MAVLink to send the data from the PI but I have not been able to successfully integrate with arducopter. Does anyone have a tutorial or sample code (for PI and ardupilot) that does something similar?

Thanks!

-Henry

  • Hi Henry,

              I have similar problem to yours. I need to use Ardupilot without GPS module. Then, my raspberry pi will figure out GPS position information. I need to send this data from pi to Ardupilot. If you figured out answer to your problem, please let me know.

              Anyone else, your help will be appreciated!

    Regs,

    • Use OpenCv to accomplish this, and I would not use a Pi board, but either the Udoo or the BeagleBone+Black. The Pi can not handle what you need it to do.
