How to connect Odroid to Pixhawk2? #311

Closed pchatrath closed 8 years ago

pchatrath commented 8 years ago

Hello,

@tcr3dr I wish to create an ir tracker uav by connecting IR camera like pointgrey chameleon 3 ir camera to 3DR solo. I was thinking to connect a Odroid to Pixhawk 2 and make it the main brain which will take data from senor and pass commands to pixhawk using mavros. For that how do I connect odroid to Pixhawk?

Also for this application can i some how use the other processor available on 3DR solo.

Thanks

@pchatrath I very much doubt 3DR will have time to provide more information than that already made available on http://dev.3dr.com/. This sort of question best asked on the discussion boards.

That said, there is a very capable companion computer on the vehicle already. I imagine attaching an odroid as well doesn't make much sense.

Try this:

Pixhawk2 is no different than a regular Pixhawk, just connect to the serial port on the accessory bay or on the gimbal connector instead of the telemetry port.
