Hello,
I have been working on having the uXRCE-DDS bridge run over Ethernet between Jetson Orin Nano and Holybro Pixhawk 6x (v1.16-alpha).
A few weeks ago, after following the steps of Ethernet setup for Pixhawk and Companion computer, I was able to have this communication working.
However after a drone crash, we found out later that this Ethernet communication was not working anymore. Sometimes, the Ethernet link on the 6x glows orange for a few seconds after connecting the Ethernet 4-pin cable but most of the time it doesn’t glow up at all and the agent doesn’t communicate with the 6x at all.
It seems that something went wrong in this port due to the crash and I don’t know how to fix it. Hence I am exploring other options for the DDS bridge to run.
While I looked into having serial communication between Pixhawk and companion computer over the TELEM ports using a FTDI usb adapter, I am interested to know what is the EXT2 option which shows up in the uXRCE_DDS_CFG parameter? Which port does this refer to on the Pixhawk 6x?
Thank you for your time!
