On-board sensor and GPS data


#1

What are the mavlink commands to interrogate for the copter sensor data?
What are the commands to read current GPS coordinates?
Can this work in the SITL?
How can I read the coordinates into a companion Raspberry Pi?

Hi there jax200!

First of all, I am embarrassed for not answering this question for so long. My notifications for new forum messages was turned off, and I was naively depending on that to detect new forum activity. Previously, I have depended on emails, but that will be changing with daily forum scans from myself!

I understand you have probably found an answer to your inquriy, seeing as how industrious you are. But just in case the issue is outstanding, I will add my 2 cents here.

I believe in the python script, once a dronekit connection has been established, you are returned a dronekit object which you can query for various sensory/state information of your drone (including GPS coordinates and other information).

I do not know off the top of my head what the syntax for calling on the state/sensory information of your drone from the dronekit object in the python script, but I will be updating this post shortly. I will also iterate through any other non-answered questions.

Also, thanks for helping others with their troubleshooting, that is very kind and glad to have you as part of the dojo :slight_smile:

Hi…I’m trying to send data from the GPS to the serial monitor but do not send me the data, nor me the sensor data appear, I have made the code apart from the sensors and if it works, remote graph in labview sensors, now I want to send the data from the GPS and I want to do something with google earth and labview.
