I’ve recently received back my Flir Vue from a friend and I’ve confirmed that the MAVLink communication with ArduPilot seems not to work anymore.
I’ve tried various changes to get it working but with no success:
- Swapping TX and RX lines (SERIALx_OPTIONS has a bit to do this)
- Change SERIALx_BAUD to 115
- Changed SERIALx_PROTOCOL = 2 (MAVLink2)
- Set SR2_xxx to 1 to send various mavlink messages to the camera
- Disabled CubeOrangePlus’s ADSB by setting SERIAL5_PROTOCOL = 0 (I thought it might interfere somehow)
- Reverted to Copter-4.2.3
BTW, my camera is running firmware VUE_PRO_V3.3.2. I suspect that it is the camera firmware version which has caused the problem.
I’ve sent a message to FLIR asking for older versions of the firmwrae so I can confirm the issue is on their side but who knows if they will ever respond. Until then I will add a warning to the wiki.
