Version 1.0.9 Release

  • Added JSON Parsing for fetching BR2 data

Using various HTTP.GET to retrieve the BR2 data could overload the mavlink URL and cause the system to halt.

Using JSON Parse fetches ALL the data from the Mavlink file in one HTTP.GET command. This data has a structure that is called JSON.

With this data in memory, OV-DS simply applies JSON commands to retrieve the relevant data.

So far, we are retrieving the following information and putting our hashtag on them and relevant math functions:

SYS_STATUS: voltage_battery
ATTITUDE: roll
ATTITUDE: pitch
ATTITUDE: yaw
GLOBAL_POSITION_INT: relative_alt
SCALED_PRESSURE: temperature
SCALED_PRESSURE2: temperature
NAMED_VALUE_FLOAT: value
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo1_raw
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo2_raw
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo3_raw
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo4_raw
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo5_raw
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo6_raw
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo7_raw
SERVO_OUTPUT_RAW: servo8_raw
