Hi
I currently control my drone via passing attitude and thrust set points over Mavros using
“/mavros/setpoint_raw/attitude”
This requires I run controllers myself for pitch, roll, yaw and thrust.
My thrust controller is very simple, simply reading vertical position from "/mavros/local_position/pose"and applying a PID controller for a desired velocity based on stick input.
My application requires autonomous control of pitch, roll and yaw which I need to handle offboard, however for thrust I am just re-implementing what’s already in PX4 for altitude hold, I’d just want to pass vertical velocity commands to px4 from my stick input if possible.
This seems like a waste, is there any way for me to have full off board control of attitude, but leave PX4 to run the altitude control as if I were flying in altitude mode?
I’ve seen a few posts on this from years ago, but never found a conclusive answer.
Thanks
