Joe M replied to Joe M's discussion Why doesn't Mission Planner display microseconds in the console?
"Disregard the Mission Planner HUD mod... I'm able to use the output from mavlogdump.py (in the pymavlink library) to identify the time of different events.

However, can you tell me if Mission Planner tlog files record both the transmitted command…"

Joe M replied to Joe M's discussion Why doesn't Mission Planner display microseconds in the console?
"I'm using it for post processing... I have the script displaying the timestamp of when the command was processed/transmitted; now I need the exact microsecond (or millisecond if that's the best I can get) that the telemetry indicates the command was…"

Joe M replied to Joe M's discussion Why doesn't Mission Planner display microseconds in the console?
"This helped! Thanks!!!
But now I need Mission Planner to display in the HUD the time down to the millisecond (even better: microsecond!) when I load a telemetry log...
Do you know off hand which file I need to modify to implement this change?"

I'm trying to display the current time down to the microsecond (for latency measurements) after each command sent in a script, but everything smaller than a second appears as All Zeroes!How can I get Mission Planner to display the current time down…

Joe M replied to Joe M's discussion How to python script a time-based flight plan
"Nevermind... thanks to JakobSt, I developed a working time-based script.
Here's the script that worked for me in using ArduPlane (which should work for ArduCopter too):

import sysimport clrimport timeimport MissionPlanner #import…"

TL; DR —» Where exactly in the Mission Planner source code would I insert encryption/decryption functions from the libsodium-net crypto library?(With help from a friend) I've already integrated encryption & decryption functions from NaCl into the…

Based on what I've discovered so far in my search for an answer (most pertinently here & here), it appears the only commands that can be scripted in python for Mission Planner to execute are: Script.ChangeParam(name,…

I have several questions about the 3DR radios that I was hoping some developers might be able to answer to facilitate my thesis research...[1] The 3DR wiki says 8 parameters must be the same for two 3DR radios to communicate, but I cannot find a…

"I am eager to participate in the development of this, as it aligns perfectly with my thesis research. Please let me know how I can help! I'm working solely on this endeavor for the next 4 months (because I'm doing this in graduate school for my…"

Joe M replied to Joe M's discussion AC power through USB & still use 3DR radio?
"UPDATE: You CAN power the APM 2.5 through the USB port and still communicate via 3DR air-module — as long as the USB isn't connected to a computer. I'm powering my APM 2.5 through the USB plugged into a normal 110V wall outlet, and I have no issues…"

I noticed here that I "cannot connect via the radios when [my] APM 2 is also connected via USB [because] they share the same port"... but what if I'm not using the USB port for communication — only power? (e.g. AC (wall-outlet) USB power adapter) If…

TL;DR — How can I communicate with my APM 2.5 in a HIL simulation FROM A DIFFERENT COMPUTER using the 3DR radio (wireless telemetry interface)??? I noticed here that I "cannot connect via the radios when [my] APM 2 is also connected via USB…
