Hi,

I just pushed an update of bybop with a really crude Anafi & SkyController 3 support, to show that the protocol is still the same.

It’s not really usable for now because some of the commands that Anafi uses are not yet published in the github arsdk-xml repository. Most of the flight commands are similar between Anafi & Bebop, but most of the other commands (camera / recording / wifi …) are different.

Regards,
Nicolas.

awesome. When will the SDK xml commands get updated?

12

Thank you for the update!

Sorry to be a pest but hows it going?

I really want to test the Anafi out with my companies controller!

I’ve been playing with this on the native side and am curious to know how the SC3 is being managed. By looking over the bybop source it looks like it is relying on a traditional IP connection.

Does it support mux and pomp as well? I’ve noticed some problems in libpomp’s pomp_msg_read method (segfaults) and was curious what some of the differences are between it and the SC2.

Another area where I have some questions is around video and the anafi. For simplicity, let’s assume the client is connected directly to the Anafi. Is its rstp implementation consistent with the mambo’s from a networkconfiguration perspective? I half expected the below to just work:

    networkConfiguration->hasVideo = 1;
    networkConfiguration->streamType = ARDISCOVERY_STREAM_STARTSTOP_RTSP;
    networkConfiguration->rtspAddress = strdup("rtsp://192.168.42.1/live");

Hi.

SC3 works exactly like a SC2 did : It supports either a libmux connection over USB (like FreeFlight does), or a ‘standard’ connection over IP. The only (but major for some people) difference is that you can get the USB-Net connection directly from the USB-C connector, without having to find a compliant USB-Ethernet adapter :wink:

Getting the Anafi video with libARController with the configuration you posted might work, but this won’t be the “official” way to connect to an Anafi through the SDK:
We actually rewrote the entire video pipeline for the Anafi, and this new implementation will be released alongside the new SDK.

Talking about the SDK … I can’t provide any release date yet, simply because we don’t have a release planning done yet (this takes a lot of time, and most of our devs are busy with the post-launch firmware & app updates). Be assured that we will post news here when we will know more!

Nicolas.

bummer … seeing if I can fix this:

I/librtsp: connecting to URL 'rtsp://192.168.42.1:554/live'
I/librtsp: client connected
E/librtsp: RTSP status 500: Internal Server Error
E/librtsp: failed to parse response header

ok… making progress I’ve got the stream going now… was missing an all too critical /

      networkConfiguration->hasVideo = 1;
      networkConfiguration->streamType = ARDISCOVERY_STREAM_STARTSTOP_RTSP;
      networkConfiguration->rtspAddress = strdup("rtsp://192.168.42.1/live/");

The video stream state events from libARController are not firing, but progress!

any news about the release date of Anafi SDK?

20

What are you using to make this connection? Are you using the current Bebop2 SDK(3)?

21

A modified version of it, yes… but I gave up after getting a bunch of h.264 errors.

22

Any chance to get an update on SDK availability/plans? FYI we used ANAFIs as part of our approach to win the World Robot Summit Plant Disaster Prevention competition (see photo: https://twitter.com/DarmstadtRescue/status/1053060212779900928) and we’d really like to get more control of the MAVs in the future.

24

Any news about the SDK would be awesome!
I also plan to work with Anafi in my master thesis but for that I’d need SDK support.

25

I am interested in this too, hope it will be released soon

26

I would also like to know. I would like to update pyparrot to support the anafi fully.

How’s the SDK coming along?
