Mission Computer module, interfacing the mission computer (also known as Copilot),

based losely on ISaAC: The Intelligent Safety and Airworthiness Co-Pilot module Based on paper "A Payload Verification and Management Framework for Small UAV-based Personal Remote Sensing Systems" by Cal Coopmans and Chris Coffin. Link: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/6309316/

Copilot is intended mainly for mapping applications.

This module processes messages from Copilot, and either forwards them to the GCS (such as CAMERA_SNAPSHOT or CAMERA_PAYLOAD messages), or responds to them as necessary (such as MOVE_WP).

The module assumes the source of the messages is trusted (i.e. not authentication besides AC_ID check is performed).

Example for airframe file

Add to your firmware section:

Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

copilot_init()

Periodic Functions

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

copilot_periodic()
- Frequency in Hz: 1.
- Autorun: TRUE
  Periodic function automatically starts after init.

Datalink Functions

Whenever the specified datalink message is received, the corresponing handler function is called.

on message CAMERA_SNAPSHOT_DL call copilot_parse_cam_snapshot_dl(buf)
on message CAMERA_PAYLOAD_DL call copilot_parse_cam_payload_dl(buf)
on message COPILOT_STATUS_DL call copilot_parse_copilot_status_dl(buf)
on message MOVE_WP call copilot_parse_move_wp_dl(buf)
on message PAYLOAD_COMMAND call copilot_parse_payload_command_dl(buf)
