Messages list#

Messages exchanged between the different processes: Flight Supervisor, Guidance, Drone Controller, Services and the Mission UI.

There are two types of messages, commands and events.

Flight supervisor#

Flight supervisor contains the state machine of the autopilot. It receives commands from and sends events to the Mission UI.

External commands#

command emergency()#: Emergency command, the default behavior is to cut the motors (causing a freefall).

command flightplan_start(start_wpt_idx, waypoints)#

Start a FlightPlan based on a waypoints list.

Parameters:

start_wpt_idx (uint32) - Index of first waypoint.
waypoints - Array of waypoints.

command flightplan_abort()#: Abort the FlightPlan in progress.

command flightplan_pause()#: Pause a FlightPlan in progress. To resume a FlightPlan, see flightplan_resume().

command flightplan_resume()#: Resume a FlightPlan on pause.

command hand_land()#: Ask the drone to initiate hand landing.

command hand_takeoff()#: Prepare the drone for a hand take-off by starting the motors at a low rpm.

command hand_takeoff_abort()#: Abort current hand take-off.

command land()#: Land.

Computer vision#

Computer vision exposes control on different features:

visual tracking: this feature will enhance the tracking of a target with image and deep learning processing. Once enable, a mission may select the target with the dedicated commands described hereafter.
precise hovering feature: this feature enhances hovering flying state by providing accurate estimations of drone position to the flight controller.

Two different computer vision algorithms are available (can work simultaneously)
- hovering 3d: takes video frames from stereo camera (in its current position) and take advantage of the depth to provide position estimations.
- hovering 2d: takes video frames from the vertical monocular camera to provide drone position estimation. (always available)
precise home feature: this feature enhances the ‘Return To Home’ feature by providing during the landing stage an accurate position of the drone relatively to the initial take off frame.

Here are the messages to use them.
