Serial with pixhawk ?!

hi all

I am here to ask about the ability of inputting Serial Data to pixhawk and send it to GCS Missionplanner and send Serial data command to pixhawk to output for sensor ?

Hope this can be good discussion .

Regards.

It is certainly possible to send Serial Data between the Pixhawk and a GCS. There are various ways you can do it. Either by attaching a USB cable to the Pixhawk and connecting to Mission Planner via USB (this is easy to try) or by attaching a Radio Modem to a serial port on the Pixhawk and attcahing another Radio Modem with a usb connector to your PC.

It would be easier if you could provide more detail of what you want to do.

thanks for replay ,
I know that connection
but what I want is ,

I have these tool
1- Pixhawk data . ( Mavlink )
2- Camera sony control data ( Serial )
3 - maybe any sensor such as ( fuel tank sensor , Temp , RPM , ect )

Is it possible to get the camera sony data into the pixhawk and send it using telemetry to MP ?

what I am thinking is combine the (Mavlink , camera data ) using external circuit then send it to the ground station , befor attaching to computer have the same circuit that split the data for MP and the camera Controller .

I hope you get what I want , Or I will draw diagram for explain .

Regards .
