hi

I’d asked this question in a few posts back and no one had answered

reference how to get the drone position from the skycontroller. Can anyone help please at all - or is there a number or email I can ring to find out what the answer might be

many thanks

many thanks

Hi Chris,

Are you trying to do this via Olympe? If so, this should be pretty straightforward. Connect the Skycontroller to your laptop using the USB A port (if memory serves). Then, you can pair it with your drone, but make sure that there is no mobile device plugged into the USB C port. The controller can remain closed. Next, start an Olympe script but use 194.168.53.1 as the connection string. Once there, you can get any positional data from the Olympe API, for instance, drone.get_state(GpsLocationChanged) would give you GPS data. Hope this helps!

EDIT: I just saw your previous post. If you want just the location without control, use the embedded metadata in the video stream!

hey thanks for responding.

Is it really that complicated ? stand up a full video decoding pipeline just to get out the drone location ? or a full python env and scripting just for the same on what looks like is coded up to assume the laptop is running ubuntu or something …

if 53.1 is there is there no rest endpoint I can just grab this info from . It seems I am missing something big here. I dont want to control the drone thats what the guy with the skycontroller does, I just want to get the XYZ of the drone so I can put its position up on a bigger map for others to see.

thanks
