Bidirectional data link between FC and GS #38

Open MatzElectronics opened 7 years ago

MatzElectronics commented 7 years ago

Give the user a path to send data from the FC to the groundstation - maybe a typedef that looks like user.fc_to_gs1, user.fc_to_gs2, possibly as bytes, with no expectations on refresh rates.

Also, in the other direction - GS to FC, in the same manner, user.gs_to_fc1, user.gs_to_fc2

This is a request to build the pipes, and possibly a tab on the groundstation, and/or incorporate them into the sensor graph

For the "to the FC" version, what is the value? Int? Float? What range? How does the user enter it?

I can add an Int or two from the FC to the GS and display them, but the other way is kind of specialized.

It can be two chars (ints). I actually did it by creating a COMMAND, but only checking chars 1 and 3, and repeating the value on chars 2 and 4.
