Hi,
I’m trying to upgrade an old Mikrokopter Okto XL to Navio2+RPi3/Ardupilot as part of a masters project surrounding autonomous drones and was looking for some help interfacing the Navio2 with my existing flight controllers via I2C or PPM.
The current Octocopter system makes use of MK’s BL-Ctrl v2 ESCs which communicate with their own I2C commands or via PPM. I know the Navio2 has an I2C port and have found mention of Arducopter/Mikrokopter compatibility in some online forum posts from a few years back, alongside some sketchy C code examples from the Mikrokopter Wiki and loose documentation for Interface Protocols.
The thing is, I can’t find much by way of actual documentation on making the Navio2 output to I2C or PPM, or how to configure Arducopter to work with this.
So I was wondering if any of you guys had any experience with a similar problem, hints as to how to interface everything, or even just a recommendation for a good PPM to PWM converter?
Thanks!
Robert.
