Add MAVLink support to Backpack

Open MUSTARDTIGERFPV opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Should be easy as pie to use - Backpack autodetects when it sees MAVLink heartbeats and starts a WiFi network, and runs the "standard" UDP ports so Mission Planner should auto connect. Additionally, with https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/pull/2867, the TX now requests backpack mode changes as soon as link mode is set.

Open questions:

  • WiFi PSKs?
  • ~~Does it work on STA mode? No reason why not, but haven't tested~~ Yes.
  • ~~More counters / status?~~
  • ~~How do we get Backpack out of MAVLink mode? Could simultaneously parse MSP and look for an exit command, or just say "nah reboot"~~ https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS/pull/2867
