Micasense RedEdgeMX Multispectral camera proxy that runs on an Pixhawk offboard computer.
Motivated by Andrew Tridgell's MAVProxy, a MicaSense RedEdgeMX camera MavLink proxy for use in MavLink-supported unmanned aerial system (UAS) autopilots. The RedEdgeMX proxy translates MavLink camera commands and MavLink extended parameter settings to/from the MicaSense HTTPApi. By default the proxy forwards MavLink-protocol packets to/from a serial UART port on an autopilot (typically connected through an available telemetry/UART port on the autopilot FMU), and sends corresponding camera configuration requests over the MicaSense HTTPApi (over wifi or ethernet).
RedEdgeMXProxy depends on gstreamer, as it will stream short time-lapse video from the camera to a ground control
station like QGroundControl. To use with QGroundControl, install a version of
gstreamer that is well-supported as defined in the
README
Installation on a Linux OS can be done by executing ./install.sh on the commandline.
