"Unfortunately I've had very little time since November to work on this. Kids, work and other projects has taken up all my spare time lately.
Here is a link to when I'm flying with it: http://youtu.be/UONOH9K82GE
There is a around 400ms latency on…"
"Its hard to measure latency on the mavlink data so I don't have any numbers. I'm running this connection to my own gcs software that displays telemetry info and video in my oculus rift. I am also sending head tracking data via mavlink to the gimbal…"
"This was some time ago and iirc it was first of all that I wanted UDP and not TCP. Second I didn't want to have to use a virtual serial port on my windows machine to convert the TCP data back to serial. Maybe that isn't necessary but I couldn't get…"
"After tryimg out ser2net and mavproxy a couple of months ago but not really liking any of them I ended up writing a python script to get the mavlink data from my pi to mission planner.
Your welcome to try it out if you want,…"
"@RogerCon
Arducam has made a PI compatible camera with CS-mount. Slap a motorized CS zoomlens on that and control the zoom from the pi.
Someone has must have done that before."
It's been a long while since I posted my last blog post about this project and there have been some progress though veeery slow. The last two months I have very little time to work on this.Anyway, thought I should at least post the latest vid.This…
"Do you have any other radio to try with?
Check that your px4io firmware is updated if your running 3.2. I had this problem when I upgraded from 3.1.5 to 3.2rc10. Check your boot log on the sd-card I think it says its trying to update the px4io…"
"Thought I had the script fixed the other day. Turned out my way of passing UDP to serial was a bit naive.
Anyway got things sorted out and now it seems to be working really nice. There is only one version now that run two processes, one for UDP to…"
"Latency seems to be ok, better than with mavproxy. I have to test some more. Would be nice to get other people's opinions as well. CPU is around 40% but since ffmpeg is only like 8% I don't see a problem with the CPU load. Though it seems like some…"
"Just realized that I hadn't pushed the latest changes of the script to github. If anyone tried it and it didn't work its not that strange. Anyway should be working now."
"I have the Ubiquity WISP station in that port now. I could probably get a USB Ethernet card, which im going to buy anyway, and plug it in there. But the plan is to use that card for the Ubiquity and skip the odroid-w add on board that have the…"
"Wrote a simple python script yesterday to send mavlink data via UDP instead of TCP as ser2net uses. I really like to avoid having a switch and a serial to ethernet device mounted since my space is limited and I'd like to save as much weight as…"
