ArduCopter Copter 3.1

Hi, So I’m building a quad-rotor for my project using an APM 2.8 for inddor navigation and surveillance. Can you please guide me on how to setup communication between APM and SBC (raspberry pi/ Asus tinkerboard) over ROS ? I’ve accidentally burnt one of my APM 2.8. One of my friend suggested I can use mavros package to communicate to APM and override RC commands.

Hello, got the same question, have you reached to a solution?

The solution would include not using an obsolete unsupported Flight Controller.
