Mavlink dont receive ads-b command

ArduCopter Copter 3.6

Hi there,
I am using mavlink 1.0, but I can’t receive any MAVLINK_MSG_ID_ADSB_VEHICLE message. With the current Missionplanner it is working (Mavlink 1.0), but I want to show them on my own GS. Any secret message that the MissionPlanner is using for requesting it ;)?

You may have to request the stream or set a streamrate. Most GCSes do this automatically, so you might need to do it yourself:

  • Make sure you set SR*_ADSB parameter to a nonzero value, where * is the number of the serial port used to connect to the GCS
  • You may have to send MAV REQUEST_DATA_STREAM to get the ADSB messages. Ardupilot has not implemented SET_MESSAGE_INTERVAL yet, so don’t use that.

Thank you Rick for your response. Of course I have requested the streams and the ADSB Interval is set to 5hz on the pixhawk but still I am not able to receive this specific message. I do not feel like digging through the MissionPlanner code :smiley: Any other idea?

void request_mavlink_rates()
{
const int maxStreams = 7;
const byte MAVStreams[maxStreams] = {
MAV_DATA_STREAM_RAW_SENSORS,
MAV_DATA_STREAM_EXTENDED_STATUS,
MAV_DATA_STREAM_RAW_CONTROLLER,
MAV_DATA_STREAM_POSITION,
MAV_DATA_STREAM_EXTRA1,
MAV_DATA_STREAM_EXTRA2,
MAV_DATA_STREAM_EXTRA3
};

const int MAVRates[maxStreams] = {
0x02, 0x02, 0x02, 0x02, 0x10, 0x02, 0x02
};

for (int i = 0; i < maxStreams; i++)
{
mavlink_msg_request_data_stream_send(MAVLINK_COMM_0,
mav_system,
mav_component,
MAVStreams[i],
MAVRates[i], 1);
}

@Michael_Oborne, did you do any special to receive the ADS-B message? I would be very happy if someone helped me. Thanks in advance!

Are you using PingRX? I recall that my Ping had its own component ID, so you may have to request stream from a different component than your FC. You can use Mission Planner’s MAVLink inspector (Ctrl+F) to see what component ID is sending ADSB messages.

Thanks again Rick! I also had the idea yesterday and have tried different component IDs, unfortunately without success. Looks like the component ID from Missionplanner is 1. May be there is something like “MAV_DATA_STREAM_ADSB_VEHICLE” (does not exist in my mavlink lib) ? - or to which stream belong the ADSB data?

Unfortunately that’s the end of my knowledge. It looks like MAVProxy requests MAV_DATA_STREAM_ALL, which must include ADSB messages since its ADSB module just looks at incoming messages and doesn’t request anything special. Maybe ADSB is included in one of the EXTRA streams.

Nevertheless, many thanks for your help and honesty! :+1:
Maybe I’ll find something out…:upside_down_face:

@rmackay9 do you know why I can’t receive the ADSB Message, even though I requestet all Mavlink Streams? I have an Arduino on Serial1 and everything on the pixhawk is set up right. With the Missionplanner it’s working…what am I missing?

Maybe its something wrong or missing with my mavlink lib. I will try to use a newer version, hopefully this will help

OK its working, I had an old mavlink version :relieved:

Hi Fabian, same problem here. Unfortunately, programming is not my thing. How did you solve the issue? How can I check which MAVLink version I have and how to update it? Thanks.
