Sending MavLink Command to Raspberry Pi for Image Capturing at Waypoints

ArduRover

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a rover that needs to capture images at every meter using a Raspberry Pi for further processing.

I want to send a MavLink command to the Raspberry Pi whenever the rover reaches a waypoint, signaling it to take a picture. The rover should then wait until it receives confirmation from the Raspberry Pi that the process is complete before proceeding to the next waypoint.

What would be the best way to implement this communication using MavLink? Any guidance or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance! :blush:

Here is some basic info about the camera trigger option at each waypoint.
