Community Q&A
Offboard Drone Control
Question: Vision pipeline that detects images and sends the drone in that direction using MAVROS, w/o using mission mode.
Answer: You can use MAV_CMD_DO_REPOSITION from MAVROS. You might also want to look at PX4 Avoidance.
Question: Why do you need to define a setpoint for acceleration, velocity, and position, when commanding a drone?
I have recently joined TII, I am proud to be working for a silver member of the dronecode organization. We are working on a project to provide a secondary (vision-based) localization source that provides geodetic coordinates in the same manner a GPS unit does, but I would like to have input on which would be the best approach to switch between this visual navigation and GPS sources on-the-fly. In this sense we would like to discuss the following:
Can we change SENS_GPS_PRIME on-the-fly without any adverse side-effects?
Is there any GPS glitching detection that we would trigger by swapping the positioning source?
Do we need any specific care to avoid having the positioning estimate interpreted as a glitch?
Who would be the best point of contact for positioning related questions?
Hey @camposi we are happy to read you here, would you be available for tomorrow’s this week’s developer call? perhaps you can join and ask the questions to our team on the meeting.
