Connection PC and drone #341

Closed MathiasDePaepe closed 6 years ago

MathiasDePaepe commented 6 years ago

What could be the best manner to connect your PC with the drone over TCP/IP? For example, your PC says to the drone that it must take a picture, then the drone sends the picture back to the PC, the PC does the computation work and resends some information back to the drone like move left. I need this for object avoidance and i'm investigating if the executing speed will be faster if i let the computation work do by the PC and not by the single core drone?

Thanks on advance!

To communicate with the flight stack you will use MAVLink, see examples in mavlink-router https://github.com/intel/mavlink-router, to grab frames you can use the stream that camera daemon stream(now named camera manager https://github.com/Dronecode/camera-manager) broadcast.
