Hi,
I am designing Electronics between the PixHawk output and the six Trusters.
It will check/Adjust the propeller Speed and Current output to each Truster.
It acts as a Filter/Monitor/Error check of the Trusters.
My Question is How to connect my filter computer (PIC32) serial so I can see the data from it to the Ground PC ?
Best Regards Nils
Hi @nilswihlborg, welcome to the forum
Assuming you have an onboard Raspberry Pi computer or similar, you should be able to connect a serial output of your microcontroller either to some of the GPIO pins or via a serial to USB converter. From there you could either:
- use the serial bridges service that’s built into BlueOS to forward the serial data to the control station via UDP
- use a USB bridging service like VirtualHere or USBIP to present your serial to USB adapter as though it is connected directly to your control station computer,
- both of those are available as existing BlueOS extensions, that can be installed on your onboard computer
- write code (e.g. in your own BlueOS Extension) that processes your data and sends some aggregate information and/or an interface up to the control station computer
So I can communicate by connecting the Pi serial port to my Mcu ?

Communication requires:
- Having hardware that can process and send the relevant signals
- The Raspberry Pi and your PIC have a serial port
- Configuring the hardware to do that
- The PIC side is handled in your firmware, and the RPi side is likely already set up
- Connecting the devices
- You can do this by connecting the serial ports together
- You can do this by connecting the serial ports together
- Running software/firmware on each end, so they can talk to each other
- You’ll need to write code / flash/install/configure software for this part
Thanks…
