Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Vicon integration with ardrone2

[Redon Blue22]

Hi Felix,

Thanks for the reply,

In regards to the question about "GPS for initial launch capability"... , I haven't been able to get the ardrone2 to get passed the point of "waiting for gps" when attempting to launch without having a gps fix. My current work has led to using a ublox gps to get a gps 3d fix to get the "launch initiate".

I was also working on simply attempting to alter the code so that "gps = true" so that ultimately I don't need gps to initiate launch but I am having issues with the correct class to write this into, any help here is greatly appreciated. There seems to be a multitude of areas which reference the same object, it must take a long time to get your head around this complexity.

One last thing... I thought that Mavlink could easily be incorporated by using the path:

paparazzi/sw/ext/mavlink/examples/linux/mavlink_udp.c

once again thanks for the reply,

kind regards,

Candice

Hi, 

The TV Delft guys are using Optitrack via natnet2ivy on the ground and gps_datalink on the vehicle. 

For Vicon you would just have to write a similar adapter to natnet2ivy. 

I didn't quite understand your question about "GPS for initial launch capability"... 

Cheers, Felix

Hi, I'm about to begin using a Vicon system for the mavlink data for position
accuracy. Has anyone else used this system and are there any issues they
encountered. I do like the paparazzi source code having mavlink capability
all ready possible.

I am also maintaining the gps for initial launch capability with the ublox
gps, is there any requirement for this? or can gps simply be set to "gps
valid or (true)? in the gps class?

thanks
