Solved: Accessing GPS data

APope1 · ‎02-04-2018

Hi there,

I was wondering if there was a way to programmatically access (such as through an API) the GPS data on board the Intel Aero RTF UAV?

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for your patience.

The GPS module is connected directly to the flight controller. To access the GPS data, you would need to use an API like dronekit or mavlink to get GPS information. We have basic documentation here regarding Python programming: https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/04-Autonomous-drone-programming-in-Python https://github.com/intel-aero/meta-intel-aero/wiki/04-Autonomous-drone-programming-in-Python

You can start there then look at the mavlink or dronekit manual for additional commands/arguments.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Octavian
