Raspberry Pi slave to Ardupilot

Posted by Henry Bradlow on December 2, 2013 at 2:29pm

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.
