Send PPM signals to the Pixhawk from a Raspberry Pi

Posted by Sirius Fuenmayor on September 13, 2015 at 4:16pm

Hi, I want to use the pixhawk to control a quadcopter but I instead of using a a radio control system to send the PPM signals to the Pixhawk I want to send the PPM signals from a Raspberry Pi. The setup I want to use is the following:

1) Connect a radio control trasnmitter to my PC via the trainer port (which outputs PPM signals)
2) Send this signals via WiFi to the Raspberry Pi
3) Connect the Raspberry Pi to the Pixhawk and send the PPM signals to the PPM input

Is this possible?

How it can be done?

How about this? I'm in the process of creating a formal product from this prototype. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhKc2bhLnNQ

Did you find a way to generate ppm from rpi?
