[beagleboard] Re: GCS-Based Joystick Control via Telemetry Radio on the BBBL

2018-01-13 Thread Timothy Litvin
QGC informs that what I may be up against is a need for MANUAL_CONTROL support in MAVlink. Basing a search on that, I find that ArduSub has integrated this functionality, but not the other ArduPilot platforms. Can I simply ask for this to be integrated as a regular option in blue-arduplane,

the uBlox is powered-up suggests my assumptions about the pin numbering are correct. I had dismissed the thought that these might need to be wired Tx/Rx cross-over, but suddenly I'm less sure of that. On Thursday, July 6, 2017 at 2:46:12 PM UTC-7, RobertCNelson wrote: > > On Thu, Jul 6, 2017 at

Thanks Robert, I've loaded your update. I had assumed the BBBlue had those pins pre-allocated (as the PCB silkscreen indicates). Mirko's instructions made the GPS sound like plug-n-play, not referencing additional setup. I’ve installed the config-pin utility, and a command-line entry of the
