Camera payload commands over Telem2 or other UARTs

Antiheavy · February 5, 2017, 1:41am

Does PX4 send the various MAVlink camera/payload messages out over Telem2 or any of the other UARTs? If so, can this be setup in Qgroundcontrol?

The packet I’m most after is :
MAV_CMD_DO_DIGICAM_CONTROL

Also other packets of interest might be:
MAV_CMD_DO_DIGICAM_CONFIGURE
MAV_CMD_DO_CONTROL_VIDEO
CAMERA_TRIGGER ( #112 )

Thanks in advance.

You can trigger the following commands when you reach a waypoint:

github.com

PX4/Firmware/blob/master/src/modules/navigator/mission_block.cpp#L110-L114


		 * We wait half a second to give the transition command time to propagate.
		 * Then monitor the transition status for completion.
		 */
		// TODO: check desired transition state achieved and drop _action_start
		if (hrt_absolute_time() - _action_start > 500000 &&

MAV is replaced with NAV here but it should essentially be the same, just inside navigator.

Looks like there has been lot’s of progress on this over the past month:
