nodegcs's Issues

Connecti via serial using Pixfalcon

hello, i was trying testing your project using pixfalcon, as you said before if i want to connect via serial using this : start /dev/cu.usbserial-A503UTCT 115200 but when i try to use COM as serialport, there's an error like this :
mav_port = new SerialPort(connection_path, {
^
TypeError: SerialPort is not a constructor
at Timeout.connect_serial [as _onTimeout] (D:\Materi Lab\nodegcs-master\mavlink_connection.js:538:16)
at ontimeout (timers.js:475:11)
at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:310:5)
at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:270:5)

how do i fix this on your code, thank you

UDP connection

Hi, I'm trying to rewrite your project using dgram library instead of "net" to control a px4 drone using udp connection.
I'm able to read but there is a problem sending commands.
This is the error I've got.
"WARN [mavlink] ignoring CMD with same SYS/COMP (1/1)"

Basically this is a takeoff.

` mav_parser.createMessage("COMMAND_LONG", {
"param1": param1,
"param2": param2,
"param3": param3,
"param4": param4,
"param5": param5,
"param6": param6,
"param7": param7,
"command": command,
"target_system":1,
"target_component": 1,
"confirmation": confirmation
},
function (message) {

  LOG("------------------------------------------------")
  LOG(message.toString());


  mav_port_receive.send(message.buffer, 0, message.buffer.length, PORT, HOST, function(err, bytes) {
    if (err)  {
      LOG(err)
    }

    LOG("--CALL BACK PARTITA-")
    LOG("-e > " +err)
   
    // mav_port_send.close();
    
  });
 
  return;
});

}`
LOG is a logger.
mav_port_receive is the same of your map_port.

mav_port_receive = dgram.createSocket("udp4") LOG("LISTENER PORT : " + connection_port +", ADDRESS : " +connection_path) mav_port_receive.bind( connection_port,connection_path);

and it works pretty well as a listerner

`mav_port_receive.on("message", (msg, rinfo) => {

  if(msg[0]!= 0 && msg[1]!= 7){
    var radio_status = {
      rssi: parseInt(msg[2]),
    };
  } 
  mav_parser.parse(msg);
  

});

`

Have you any solution or suggestion ?

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK]: Callback must be a function

Hi,

Awesome project! Just ran into a little snag and hoped you could shed some light on this.
I'm faced with this error:

Connectedted    STABILIZE       DISARM  SatNum: 0       HDOP: 0 VDOP: 0         Battery: 12.587V

➜ nodegcs v1.0
timers.js:425
    throw new errors.TypeError('ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK');
    ^

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_CALLBACK]: Callback must be a function
    at setTimeout (timers.js:425:11)
    at Timeout.send_default_datastream [as _onTimeout] ([...]\mavlink_connection.js:720:9)
    at ontimeout (timers.js:466:11)
    at tryOnTimeout (timers.js:304:5)
    at Timer.listOnTimeout (timers.js:267:5)

Steps to reproduce:

1. node nodegcs
2. start
3. arm
4. wait for a few seconds
5. crash

The only thing I changed was upgrade to v6 of the serialport dependency as v5 didn't work for my node version.

If it helps, I am using sitl as the simulator, as you suggested (though I installed with pip install dronekit-sitl -UI as per instructions on their website).

want to add open parachute function

hey i wanna ask, if i want to add open parachute command, how do i create a new function to it, and what's the meaning from module.export in mavlink_connection.js

thank you

Add command "Go To Here"

Hi,
First of all, great repo.
Second, I would like to add "Go To Here(Guided Mode)"(this is how it appears in APM Planner 2. Not sure what is the message and how can I add it..
I was trying something like
send_command_long(0, 3, 3, 0.2, lat, lng, 10, mavheader.MAV_CMD_OVERRIDE_GOTO, 1);
Any advice?
Thanks
