Solo + MavROS

[Vitor Guizilini]

Hello there,

I'm trying to stream data from Solo to my computer, using MavProxy for communication and MavROS to wrap everything up into readable topics. But I'm running into some issues, in case someone with more experience can give me a hand:

1) Stream rate ( IMU + GPS ) seems to be capped at 10 Hz, which is not nearly enough for serious applications (especially for IMU), is there a way to bump this up?

2) How do I send commands (takeoff, land, velocity/position targets) to Solo from MavROS? I read about an offboard mode, but I'm not sure how to access it.

3) How do I access the camera feed using this framework?

Thanks!

Hi Vitor,

We use MAVROS as a component of Skysense Planner, an Open-Source web planner for MAVLink-based drones.
We're adding support also for 3DR Solo drones. Find more on the project website:
