Communication Subsystem Test

Mavlink Communication

Objective:

Communication between flight controller

and microcontroller to receive: current date, time, latitude and longitude coordinates.

Procedure:

1. Set up hardware shown below

2. Download QGroundControl station.

3. Set up UART serial communication baud rate 57600.

4. Request and receive date, time, latitude and longitude.

Mavlink Communication Test Results

Serial Monitor of microcontroller showcasing that we have successfully received date, time, latitude and longitude from flight controller via Mavlink communication.

This showcases the date, time, latitude and longitude of the flight controller & is a way to check that information is being sent.
