XBEE and PIXHAWK

Hello everyone,

I am working on a project to capture wifi signals flying a quadcopter using Pixhawk. I was reading the pixhawk tutorials, and I came across one that shows Xbee configuration - http://pixhawk.org/peripherals/radio-modems/xbee.

Following this tutorial would the pixhawk be able to pick up wifi signals and navigate to, let's say, the strongest wifi signal it captures.

Thanks for any advice provided.

  • I know the XBee is able to show signal levels of WiFi but you would need to add a user function to APM to make it react to them.  Otherwise you would need to use another Microcontroller to interpret the signal and some how determine what direction to fly in.  You could then use Mavlink to tell the copter where to fly to.

    • Thanks for the response. I am going to look it up how to add a user function to APM. Also, if I decide to use an arduino to interpret the signal, can I connect it to the Pixhawk, though.

      Thanks
