6.3. Deep Integration with Host Platform
The RedEdge-
MX
supports deep integration with host platforms allowing the
replacement of the included GPS receiver with host-provided GPS information. In this
mode, GPS location, altitude, and time, as well as platform orientation information is
provided via the host serial or Ethernet interface. Host integration through serial
connection is accomplished through MAVLink messaging and is compatible with
common autopilot systems such as Pixhawk and APM. Deep integration in this
manner is best performed by integrators with a strong working knowledge of the
MAVLink communication protocol, serial communications, and advanced Pixhawk or
APM configuration. Ethernet connectivity is also an option - visit
support.micasense.com for further resources on either of these two protocols.
