skycontroller?

Parrot bebop2 or parrot disco remote control

drobban commented 6 years ago

Not involved in this project. Just one of all the forkers out there. But according to https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/c5eb52bf8d6ff984b8acc1be79c70d3bd13ff27f/libraries/AP_HAL_Linux/HAL_Linux_Class.cpp#L153

Its related to ardupilot and more exactly it seems to be related to Bebop running ardupilot.

Im using this software to control my Navio2 board with Ardupilot, Nvidia Shield Joystick (simply modified the ardupilot code to compile in the RCInput_UDP and added mappings for the mentioned joystick in joystick_remote code)

This repo is not directly linked to skycontroller 2. Like @drobban has been saying, it is used to control Ardupilot based boards through RCInput_UDP. That said, the reason I have developed it is also because I have been using it on SkyController 1 and planned to do it on SkyController 2. The problem is that SkyController 1 is still running Android and you'd need a special firmware for that, and SkyController 2, well... I haven't found time to port it.

Thank you for answers ! I understand now ... Does Skycontroller 2 run Android also ?

jberaud commented 6 years ago

No. It runs a busybox based GNU/Linux

kikislater commented 6 years ago

Interesting, thank you ! So Skycontroller 2 is like a busybox router. Through its usb interface, could I use a male <-> male usb cable or do I still need usb to rj45 cable ?

jberaud commented 6 years ago

The Skycontroller 2 is a usb master by default, so you need to use a usb to rj45 adapter to get the connection working. You could change its config then to be a gadget but I suggest you don't. Just keep using the same adapter. Btw I don't work for Parrot anymore but I still remember how to hack the products.

Ok thank you, goal is to control disco with arduplane fw with Skycontroller 2 as a router ...
