I would like to connect my Jetson Xavier to Mission Planner without an flight controller.
Firstly i tried to connect the Jetson Xavier NX to the computer (with MP on it) directly thought USB-USB. But the COM port on the computer is not detecting well the USB from the Jetson (probably error of Master-Slave)
Secondly, i connect my computer and the jetson thought Ethernet on the same router.
Jetson Xavier IP : 192.168.10.25
Computer IP : 192.168.10.22
They can communicate (they answer to a ping command). Both connected in Ethernet.
But i don’t know how to detect the jetson on Mission Planner thought UDP.
Here my launch file in my jetson :
I have a udp bridge, but it is in the FC system :
My goal is to linked my jetson to Mission Planner without autopilot.
Thank you very much.
I’m a bit confused on what you’re trying to do. Mission Planner is for connecting MAVLink devices, such as flight controllers.
What are you trying to do with the Jetson?
I want to connect my jetson to Mission Planner. I have a gimbal camera connect to the jetson. I also made a plugin on Mission Planner to control my hand made gimbal. So my step now is to connect the jetson to Mission Planner in Mavlink.
It’s mostly to have a GUI to start some of my programs for the gimbal.
I hope i’m clear in my explanations, and if not i’m sorry.
Does the gimbal use MAVLink to communicate?
no, but i’m using mavros to received and send mavlink message in the jetson
I want this :
Mission Planner <= =Mavlink= => Jetson <= = = => Gimbal
mavros assumes you have a flight controller. I don’t think it’ll work with just a gimbal.
There’s nothing off-the-shelf to let you do that. You would need to write a mavlink<->gimbal interface yourself.
