This Java based tool enables companions to be connected to PixHawk and serves as MAVLink proxy for QGC / MAVGC. Additionally MAVcomm can serve as central hub for distributed high-level flight control.
It also provides a MAVLink parser and a flat data model to https://github.com/ecmnet/MAVGCL and to the visual odometry https://github.com/ecmnet/MAVSlam.
Vehicle control is supported by a PX4 offboard manager.
Additionally, it offers an experimental LVH+ based autopilot (integrates with MAVSLAM), which provides local mapping and path planning as 2D proof of concept.
Supported companion platforms:
MAVComm supports any platform which is capable to run Java8 and can be connected to PixHawk or PixRacer via a high speed serial link.
It is currently tested with the following systems:
-
Raspberry PI 2/3
