Gimbal Control from a custom GCS

ArduCopter
1

Hello,

is it possible to control the gimbal through mavlink inside a custom GCS UI? I have find some deprecated commands and no other documentation about it. Is RC override feature an option?

Gimbal support has improved a lot in ArduCopter 4.3-dev. In that version you can use a lot more mavlink commands, and many,many bugs have been solved.

After that you can add the extra mavlink messages and commands to your custom GCS UI.

Ok thanks.

After seeing these parameters in the documentation:

In the new gimbal support, is there any option to override the RC Control and use joystick or PC keyboard for example?

You can overwride it with mavlink messages.
