Interfacing MultiWii with another board

Post by Dave »

Hi all guys!
I'm a newbye here. I got one MultiWii board some time ago a played a little bit with it.
I found the code and the all software stuff amazing!

Now I d like to connect my MultiWii to another board (in my case Beaglebone Black). Why? Because I need to process datas coming from the board. The multiWii makes a really good job with sensor fusion and data collections. I found some similar topics in this forum, like http://www.multiwii.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=6380, http://www.multiwii.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4503&hilit=beagleboneand http://www.multiwii.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2923&p=28975&hilit=interfacing+multiwii#p28975... but they all lack of useful informations.
I'm interested to know if is it possible to get a stream of datas from the board containing the actual position, orientation and GPS informations. I would connect the boards through a I2C or?

How can I configure the board to get that output?

Cheers!!!!

All of that data should be available via serial port on the telemetry/MSP stream.

Thanks!
I suppose you mean this Protocol right?
I found it looking for telemetry.

Just one more question: do you know whether UART ports are enables as default on the board? Or should I set something in the code?

All Uart's is set to 115200 in config.h
Look in the MWosd project to get some clues how to pull MSP.
