No detailed description...

Example for airframe file

Add to your firmware section: This example contains all possible configuration options, not all of them are mandatory!

1 <module name="extra_dl">
2  <configure name="EXTRA_DL_PORT" value="UARTX|UDPX|usb_serial" />
3  <configure name="EXTRA_DL_BAUD" value="B57600" />
4 </module>

Module configuration options

Configure Options

  • name: EXTRA_DL_PORT value: UARTX|UDPX|usb_serial
    Description: Select port for extra datalink
  • name: EXTRA_DL_BAUD value: B57600
    Description: Baudrate for extra datalink if link device is UART

Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

Event Functions

These event functions are called in each cycle of the module event loop.

Periodic Functions

These functions are called periodically at the specified frequency from the module periodic loop.

  • extra_pprz_dl_periodic()
    • Frequency in Hz: TELEMETRY_FREQUENCY
    • Autorun: TRUE
      Periodic function automatically starts after init.

<!--
The event function listens on the extra telemetry port (from the payload computer for example)
and parses the received "datalink" messages, such as MOVE_WP.
We need this function to be able to listen to the extra telemetry port
As a result all messages normally handled by the autopilot (such as MOVE_WP) are processed.
