MAVlink/Mission planner HTTP server issue

Ground Control Software Mission Planner
1

Good afternoon

After installing and running Mission Planner, I’ve discovered an issue which is preventing me from getting live telemetry data out of MP.

If I understand, MP has a C# http server running when it’s active, and this server is accessible at http://127.0.0.1:56781 whenever MP is running. However, where the data is supposed to show up, http://127.0.0.1:56781/mavlink/ shows a data structure which is punctuated by objects with msg:null which is not very useful.

This appears on every computer tested though I only tested windows. To duplicate, install mission planner, open it, go to simulation, and click multirotor. Once it’s finished initializing, go to http://127.0.0.1:56781/mavlink/ in your favorite browser and you can see the missing data.

Now, with that all said, if anyone has another way of getting data out of mission planner in a way which can be read as conveniently as possible, it’d be appreciated.

Thank you for the help.

1.3.67 fixes this problem. Consider it closed.

To be honest, Michael, I just needed data in a format that could easily be read by a nodejs webapp - http gets to 127.0.0.1 are extremely convenient so I figured I’d use that!

stefan, I was curious about your use case and if you’d be willing to share your work with me. I’m looking into building a webapp that will pull data in the same way that i believe you did.
