Hello,
I have a PixHawk quad with a camera on a pitch gimbal. I’m trying to keep the camera pointed at a given location (lat-lon-alt, or x-y-z) during flight. This means pitch would be controlled by the gimbal, and yaw controlled by the quad’s heading. I haven’t been able to do this with the latest PX4 stable (00334ad7).
So far, I’ve been able to:
- Set the ROI using mavlink’s MAV_CMD_DO_SET_ROI
- Control the pitch angle of the gimbal (using mount.aux.mix & vmount)
But there seems to be no way to control the vehicle’s heading from the ROI. The docs (https://dev.px4.io/advanced-gimbal-control.html) only describe how to control the various axes of a gimbal.
How could this be made to work?
Thanks, Patrick
