Good evening to Everyone!
I’m trying to investigate the operation of a Joystick commands over mavlink through mavproxy.
The flight computer (pixracer) is connected to rpi3 (companion computer) via USB cable.
The mavproxy.py is running with the following command mavproxy.py --master=/dev/ttyACM0 --out=udp:192.168.0.2:14550
The GCS (mission planner) and RPI3 are within the same wired local network (ethernet 100).
Through the MissionPlanner log I found that the joystick’s RC_OVERRIDE (mavlink_rc_channels_override_t) command is sent exactly 16 times per second. The rate is not depending an are I’m shaking stick or not; nor on do the flight computer is shaking or it remains untouched on the table.
I would like to understand what parameter affect the rate of Joystick packets to be sent.
P.S. there is the advice to set MAX_WINDOW size to 33 ms SiK Radio — Advanced Configuration — Copter documentation to make the telemetry radio channel more fast in terms of latency; but this (as far I understood) affect only teelmetry SIK radio, but has no effect on telemetry over virtual serial port (through USB))
Also, I don’t understand how to enable (or how to make sure) that the mavlink2 is enabled if the telemetry is sent through the virtual serial port to a companion computer.
Thank you!
