Getting GIMBAL current angles usings

Hiiiiii everyone,

My gimbal is connected to Ardupilot and I can rotate it by sending MAV_CMD_DO_MOUNT_CONTROL (#205) mavlink message from the ground station.

My problems is that I cannot find a way to get current gimbal angles from the device. I read all the messages come from the ardupilot but it doesn’t contain any information about current gimbal angles.

I suppose it must be MOUNT_ORIENTATION (#265) but I don’t get that message.

Any ideas?

sorry, that message is not supported/served in ardupilot. You will need to implement it. And then request it using SET_MESSAGE_INTERVAL-

Then what’s the meaning of the message MOUNT_ORIENTATION?

ID205 has been replaced by ID1000, but I can’t receive the ID1000 command issued by the flight control. I want to control my pan/tilt through angular velocity data. How can I get the flight control to send the ID1000 command to me?

Request it using SET_MESSAGE_INTERVAL command. After correctly connecting and configuring the gimbal.
