Rosetta Drone onboard a drone and PSDK 3.3

Open relaxibus opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Control the drone from QGC and LTE without using a remote controller.

Describe the solution you'd like

Install Rosetta Drone onboard a Linux computer (Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA, etc) and parse MAVLink streams onboard between the drone E-Port and PSDK V3.3 up.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Install a "E-Port to Ethernet Adapter" that combine the E-Port USB and UART. Linux computer will be connected vie Ethernet. This allow to use any computer and wireless solution including WiFi, LTE, etc.

Additional context

That would be an interesting way in. Currently what you are describing is supported via OSDK, but that puts you in the big buck end of the business. Then again, I think PSDK is also up there, except for maybe the Inspire line. Did I miss something?

Found this right after. So it opens up for the Mavic line as well.

This is a duplicate "issue" (feature request).

Given that RosettaDrone is first of all an Android app it would require a different build and platform. You could refactor and reuse some parts in this new software component. Maybe flashing the OS image with this new component included e.g. for Raspberry Pi would be the easiest to start with. Some configuration of the onboard computer could be done via SDK Interconnection. Overall this will be a lot of work and basically a new project.

If you want to control the drone onboard for more autonomy you might want to look at a ROS 2 instead
