Hello guys,
I'm working on a project in which I want my PX4 to read data from an esp8826 (specifically - RSSI values from nearby APs). I've seen the esp8826 can be used to as a telemetry device - but this does not do the trick for me.
I would like to be able to read values sent from the esp8826 into the pixhawk and access them using a python script via the mission planner.
So far I've connected the esp8826 to the adc 3.3v (analog and ground) and the tx and rx of the esp8826 to the telem2 port rx and tx (rx->tx, tx->rx) but i'm having a trouble understanding how to read the data from the esp into the pixhawk.
Do I have to implement the mavlink protocol or is there another way to go around it?
Also, if there is any suggestion of a simpler way to achieve what I described , I would be very happy to hear it.
I really hope this was clear enough,
Thank you for your help,
Ariel.
