For a scientific project I had a request if it is possible to get the depth and heading data up to surface for logging on a separate computer (RS-232 / ASCII) Does anybody know a way to get depth and heading out of the Pixhawk an transmit this over a twisted pair in the tether and then convert it t…

Hello @Rocampo , This module only exist in Blue Robotics branch, like @jacob said here. [image] Heading & Depth data to surface? DIY ROVs I have written a mavproxy module that outputs depth, temperature, and heading on a udp port. To use it, install mavproxy from the sour…

Hi Jacob Can you send me a mavproxy module that do not output Json format string? I’m receiving other strings normally in my software, I dont know why the Json format is given me some problems. I’ve been trying to edit your mavproxy_DepthOutput.py module, but I’m not familiar with Python. I’ve t…

Can you share the code that is having trouble with the json? What language are you using?

Hi Jacob The problem wasn’t the Json format. Added this line on the module: datagram = json.dumps(self.data) self.port.sendto(datagram, (self.ip, self.portnum)) —> self.port.sendto(“\r\n”, (self.ip, self.portnum)) Without the “\r\n” on the end of the string my software was rec…

I get the following error after issuing command “module load DepthOutput” MANUAL> module load DepthOutput MANUAL> Outputting depth on UDP://0.0.0.0:25102 Loaded module DepthOutput Traceback (most recent call last): File “.\MAVProxy\mavproxy.py”, line 737, in periodic_tasks m.idle_task() File…

Hello Colins, What are you trying to do? You should change this to 127.0.0.1 or something else. This should not be hardcoded, I’ll add a note to fix it.

Thanks Willian. Editing the IP address in the mavproxy_DepthOutput.py file now outputs data. I am working on getting the Heading and Depth from the ROV in NMEA formats HDT, and DPT. I want to bring this data into another piece of software I will be using with the ROV. I think there is enough info i…

Thank a lot @patrickelectric . Can you give some reference to build GUI(tkinter) in python and display those messages on that?

Hi, I would recommend to use the official documentation webpage: Graphical User Interfaces with Tk — Python 3.10.6 documentation
