Send ATT_POS_MOCAP msg through dronekit #635

Closed pchatrath closed 8 years ago

pchatrath commented 8 years ago

Hello, I want to send motion capture position data to onboard pixhawk on Solo. I understand I need to send ATT_POS_MOCAP Mavlink signal. However I dont see this msg being supported in the Copter Commands in Guided Mode documentation. So how do I send the mocap data to solo's pixhawk using dronekit?

@pchatrath The list of supported copter commands is the list from "vanilla" copter 3.3. It is possible that Solo implements this additional command - what makes you think that this is the case? If it does support the command then you can send the message using the approaches described in http://python.dronekit.io/guide/copter/guided_mode.html#guided-mode-commands

I would ask the question about what command is supported on the Solo discussion boards.

Thanks @hamishwillee for the reply. I thought so because the "Copter Commands in Guided Mode" documentation didnt have ATT_POS_MOCAP msg listed in it. I will ask the question on discussion board. Thanks again.
