hi all
I am here to ask about the ability of inputting Serial Data to pixhawk and send it to GCS Missionplanner and send Serial data command to pixhawk to output for sensor ?
Hope this can be good discussion .
Regards.
It is certainly possible to send Serial Data between the Pixhawk and a GCS. There are various ways you can do it. Either by attaching a USB cable to the Pixhawk and connecting to Mission Planner via USB (this is easy to try) or by attaching a Radio Modem to a serial port on the Pixhawk and attcahing another Radio Modem with a usb connector to your PC.
It would be easier if you could provide more detail of what you want to do.
thanks for replay ,
I know that connection
but what I want is ,
I have these tool
1- Pixhawk data . ( Mavlink )
2- Camera sony control data ( Serial )
3 - maybe any sensor such as ( fuel tank sensor , Temp , RPM , ect )
Is it possible to get the camera sony data into the pixhawk and send it using telemetry to MP ?
what I am thinking is combine the (Mavlink , camera data ) using external circuit then send it to the ground station , befor attaching to computer have the same circuit that split the data for MP and the camera Controller .
I hope you get what I want , Or I will draw diagram for explain .
Regards .
There is some functionality dealing with cameras in ArduPilot
AP_Mount library dealing with camera trackeing

AP_Camera library dealing with triggering at a position

There are also Mavlink messages

Have a look in the documentation and see if your needs are covered or partially covered there
