FlightBoard: Relative commands do not work.

jtanx commented 9 years ago

Looking at the ArduCopter release v3.3.1 (what is loaded on the copter), it appears that the SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED message has not been implemented yet.

We could either:

Manually compile the latest firmware and upload that to the copter
Rework the structure to convert into latitude/longitude and send that instead.

This mostly affects @BrettRD, since the object tracking code currently relies on this. Actually it would affect all of us, since then the 'all stop' command actually does nothing right now.

It shouldn't bee too hard to do the 2nd option, especially with the CoordAddOffset function I made to do the spiral path.

It probably isn't too hard to do the 1st option either.

Pixhawk is ArduCopter-v2.px4

To be honest, there's not really a sane way of doing this without these commands being available. I'm highly tempted to load the latest beta (3.3-3rc10 as of now)...

The copter is now flashed with 3.3-rc10.
