Manual control while rc control connected #2086

Open JacobAi opened 1 year ago

JacobAi commented 1 year ago

I'm trying to use manual control for controlling drone. I manage to operate the drone in that mode as long as the rc remote is disconnected from the pixhawk. The only way manual control is working is when I set the paramter COM_RC_IN_MODE to 3 (RC or Joystick keep first). Is there a way that manual control will work until there is a taking control from the rc controller (keep the rc controller connected)?

These are the options: https://docs.px4.io/v1.13/en/advanced_config/parameter_reference.html#COM_RC_IN_MODE

What is the manual control by MAVSDK doing in your case? Can you explain that? Potentially, you could consider using offboard for that instead to make it more of a distinction.

The px4 ignores commands from mavsdk as long the rc connected to the pixhawk.

I tried using offboard mode with velocity control. It's not precice and smooth like using manual control. Can I ovveride rc controller commands with manual control till the rc controller change it's state?

If done right, it should be just as "precise". Again, it's not recommended to (mis)use manual control for autonomous control that can be overriden/switched out of by RC.

Manual control is only available to create an RC via Mavlink.
