Title: Mavlink on bluetooth
Post by: fboriero on May 18, 2017, 07:22:55 am

Hi everybody!
I made a low-cost (<50 euro) quadrotor with CC3D brushed + 8520 motors + HC-06 bluetooth telemetry.

My goal is to fly this miniquad without a normal transmitter but programming its motion using python-dronekit (mavlink).
I am able to bind a serial port and use the GS trough telemetry connection but I don't know how to connect trough Bluetooth using Mavlink.

Are there any suggestions?
Bests,
Fabrizio

There currently is no support for sending control information using Mavlink, although a developer has an branch that has some support for that.

The "normal" method of controlling LP externally is via UAVTalk, which is a different protocol.

Thanks a lot!
I see that there is a python support for uavtalk: https://forum.librepilot.org/index.php?topic=3173.0

What is the current branch that supports it?
