MAVLink Integration #
RESEPI GEN-II supports MAVLink communication, allowing seamless integration with compatible autopilots such as ArduPilot and PX4. MAVLink messages can be exchanged over a serial or network connection, enabling the payload to send system status and configuration updates.
Available Functions:
- Status Output: RESEPI can transmit system health, GNSS status, and logging state messages back to the autopilot for real-time monitoring.
- Trigger Control: Missions can be synchronized using MAVLink command messages, allowing the autopilot to trigger recording and shutdown events.
Connection:
- Ethernet-based MAVLink is also supported when using network-enabled configurations through the default port 14550.
