Asctec_hl_interface + Vicon_bridge integration #64

Closed txlin closed 8 years ago

txlin commented 8 years ago

Hi, I'm trying to integrate a vicon motion capture system with the hl interface. It seems fairly straightforward to do since vicon_bridge already generates a transform. My setup right now is a laptop, a hummingbird, a vicon system streaming at 100 hz and zigbee communication. I've tested the zigbee communication without vicon integration and it works when restricting packet rates.

However, when I try to run vicon_bridge and the hl_interface, the hl_interface begins transmitting a large amount of data to the LLP which overloads the zigbee communication I'm using and the fcu crashes. I'm also confused why it's trying to send data to the LLP when I include the vicon system, shouldn't the HLP only send packets when it's trying to send commands?
