OSD Add proximity sensor and rangefinder mesurements #112

Closed roque-canales closed 5 years ago

roque-canales commented 6 years ago

Hello,

It will be cool feature to display measurement from proximity sensors and rangefinders when using ARDUCOPTER or ARDUPILOT.

rodizio1 commented 6 years ago

Is it just displaying a value? I think that should be doable.

Do you know which mavlink message contains that data, or can you supply a telemetry log?

roque-canales commented 6 years ago

Hello Rodizio,

here you have description of mavlink proximity messages (used to avoid obstacles, can be 8 sensors each scanning 45°): http://mavlink.org/messages/common#DISTANCE_SENSOR

and description for range finder (used to follow ground): http://mavlink.org/messages/ardupilotmega#RANGEFINDER

this would be good as long as it can also show rangefinder altitude.

rodizio1 commented 6 years ago

Regarding obstacle avoidance: Just displaying 8 numbers probably doesn't make too much sense, it'd need some kind of graphical display and additional logic to make something turn red or warn when things come too near, that would be too much work and I don't even know how to do that.

Displaying the rangefinder distance should be no problem I guess.

ok, so Don't upgrade OSD, but please upgrade EZWBC for it relay DISTANCE SENSOR MSG and RANGEFINDER masg to mission planner.
