For some reason I thought the ST24 had a GoPro with the MK58 video transmitter module as a camera option that could be selected. I'm I remembering that wrong? Or does anybody know what FW that may have been? I bought an ST24 off ebay hoping to use it with a MK58 module, but it doesn't seem...

I doubt the ardupilot version of the st24 code will work on the ESP without quite a bit of modifications. I was suggesting modifying the PIX4 st24 library and compiling it for Arudpilot. I'm surprised your sticks are not centered, I'm not sure why that would be. You could modify the values in...

It is interesting because the ST24.cpp file in ardupilot says that it is taken from the PX4 firmware but the comments in it say that it is for the SUMD/SUMH protocol. The ST24.cpp in the PX4 works and is what I used for the ESP32 code. I wonder how hard this would be to fix. Just comparing the...

Glad it is working for you now. I want to get into playing with ardurover on this BeagleBone Blue board, but I'm still working on the basic installation and setup. I don't know how you configure Ardurover to use SBUS but I see that in the code for ardupilot the ST24 protocol is listed in...

Ok. I'm pretty sure I figured out the problem. The version of code I uploaded is intended to both output SBUS and control the CGO3 gimbal. The problem is that the code keeps sending the CGO3 initialization code repeatedly until it gets a response from the gimbal. If the gimbal isn't hooked up...

It has been so long since I messed with this that I'm having a hard time just getting a system that works to test my own code on. I have lots of misc flight controllers, but they are all so old I'm having a hard time finding the documentation and/or firmware I need to set them up. I am currently...

I will try to look into this. Can you tell me a little about your setup? It sounds like you are hooking the ESP32 up to some sort of flight controller, can you tell me which one? Maybe some pictures.

Since you only need to bind the receiver and transmitter once, try commenting out the call to the bind function lines 197-200 (see below). There is supposed to be a button on the pin to put it into bind mode. I'm not sure if you added the button or not.

I think the cgo uses mavlink 1 crc, but closer to mavlink 2 message format. See this thread: https://yuneecpilots.com/threads/cgo3-serial-link.18528/ I was able to use mavlink like messages to control some aspects of the gimbal.

That is the problem with using the PWM interface with the CGO3+, you can only control the tilt, not the yaw. To control the yaw, as far as I know, you have to use the serial interface to the gimbal.

This is interesting: https://uasdoc.faa.gov/listDocs/RID000000405 I always figured you could make your own RID module using an ESP32 but I didn't figure the FAA would accept it. That link makes it look like there is a DIY ESP32 RID module that has been accepted.

I guess the other questions are: Where did you get this and is there more of them? :)

I imagine you would have mentioned it if it did, but does if have an FCC ID anywhere on it? Or any other labeling? I tried doing an image search for the logo next to the "Signal Plus" but didn't find anything. Because of the type of USB connector and the video processor, my guess is that it is...

If you are going to strip it and toss it, I will offer $20 for it. I would use it for experimentation purposes for trying to make it useful for other projects, which likely won't work but will be run to try. I have had some luck using the ST16 and ST10 to control other drones, but it does...

Since I have an old CGO1, I figured I would help by testing it out. These URLs did not work for me. I downloaded the CGO1 APK, opened it, and then searched for the IP address. The correct URL is rtsp://192.168.73.254:8556/PSIA/Streaming/channels/2?videoCodecType=H.264 Open that url in VLC I...
