The information on this page refers to firmware v2.50e and higher.

In addition to the serial commands, the STorM32 controller also understands MAVLink messages, as defined in the MAVLink standard. The STorM32 controller in fact supports a rich set of MAVLink messages and features, as well as the MAVLink 2 protocol, and might be by far the most integrated MAVLink capable gimbal controller available.

The STorM32 controller integrates two MAVLink components, which are referred to as the MAVLink Gimbal and MAVLink Camera components:

  • MAVLink Gimbal: This component deals with the gimbal operation, and is the part which you know from older firmware versions.
  • MAVLink Camera: This component is related to the NT Camera, and provides a complete MAVLink Camera Protocol microservice server. It allows you to control the camera through MAVLink in unprecedented useful ways.

The MAVLink Gimbal and MAVLink Camera components share some parameters, but function-wise are independent of each other. That is, both can be used simultaneously, the MAVLink Gimbal component can be used alone without the MAVLink Camera component, and vice versa.

Comment: The MAVLINK field in the [GUI:Dashboard] Info Center shows MAVLINK is PRESENT when the STorM32 controller is receiving valid MAVLink messages, implying a MAVLink connection is established. This can be handy for diagnosis.

Comment: In case you find it confusing what "two MAVLink components" is supposed to mean, then just connect the STorM32 controller (with both components enabled) to MissionPlanner: You will find that it will show you two components, one named GIMBAL and the other named CAMERA :).

Parameters

The MAVLink parameters are located in the [GUI:Interfaces Tool] window, which is accessible via the [GUI:Experts Only] menu.

It has the following parameters:

  • Mavlink Gimbal: Enables the MAVLink Gimbal component and sets its component ID.
  • Mavlink Gimbal Stream: Activates emission of the selected message by the Gimbal component.
  • Mavlink ComPort: Selects the serial com port which shall be used for the MAVLink communication. Applies to both the MAVLink Gimbal and MAVLink Camera components.
  • Mavlink System ID: Sets the system ID of the STorM32 controller (default = “0”). Applies to both the MAVLink Gimbal and MAVLink Camera components. If it is set to “0”, then the system ID is autodetected, i.e., the STorM32 waits for incoming heartbeat messages from an autopilot and then uses its system ID.
  • Mavlink Version: Sets the used MAVLink protocol version (default = “Mavlink2”). Applies to both the MAVLink Gimbal and MAVLink Camera components. Must be set to “Mavlink2” for the MAVLink Camera component to fully work.
  • Mavlink Camera: Enables the MAVLink Camera component and sets its component ID.

The STorM32 system ID should match the system ID of the autopilot, or autodetection should be enabled with Mavlink System ID = “0” (which is the default).

STorM32 supports the MAVLink 1 and MAVLink 2 protocols, which can be set via the parameter Mavlink Version. Per default MAVLink 2 is enabled, and it is highly recommended to use it.

Comment: The STorM32 controller always accepts and serves incoming MAVLink messages on any of its serial ports, irrespective of the Mavlink Gimbal, Mavlink Camera and Mavlink ComPort settings. However, all outgoing messages such as heartbeats are emitted only on the selected serial port, and this port also does not accept incoming serial commands, i.e., is exclusive for MAVLink communication.

Comment: The baudrate of the selected serial port is determined by the respective baudrate parameter in the [GUI:Expert] tab. Per default it is 115200 bps. It is recommended to use a baudrate of 230400 bps, if possible.

Comment: For v1.3x boards: When the UART port is selected, one cannot use a BT module and a serial MAVLink connection at the same time.

Pass-Through

It is possible to connect the STorM32 GUI to any routing component in a MAVLink system, such as an autopilot or on-board companion computer, and to communicate directly with the STorM32 gimbal via MAVLink tunnel messages.

This is extremely convenient when the STorM32 gimbal is permanently installed in a vehicle, as it allows us to configure the gimbal without having to have physical access to the STorM32's USB or UART ports. The pass-through also works with wireless telemetry links, which opens up options such as tuning the gimbal during flight, and other unheard-of possibilities for in-flight control of the gimbal.

The pass-through mode of operation is enabled by checking in the GUI the [MAVLink] checkbox, which is located next to the [Port] combobox. The GUI then effectively operates like a mini MAVLink ground control station (the system ID is determined from the attached components, its component ID is MAV_COMP_ID_TUNNEL_NODE = 242 per default).

Comment: The pass-through communication is based on standard MAVLink, and thus should work for any MAVLink compatible autopilot.

Comment: Pass-through works for both the MAVLink Gimbal and MAVLink Camera components. The GUI chooses the MAVLink Gimbal if enabled, otherwise the MAVLink Camera for communication.

Comment: GUI functions which need physical access to a USB/UART port on the STorM32 controller do not work in pass-through mode. For instance, upgrading firmwares won't work.

This preliminary demo video demonstrates the pass-through feature:

MAVLink FTP

The MAVLink Gimbal and MAVLink Camera components support the MAVLink FTP micro service, which allows us to download the component definition files and the various camera definition files stored in the STorM32 controller.

The MAVLink Gimbal component's MAVLinkFTP support is available only on STorM32 boards with F103RE chip (the typical STorM32 board has a F103RC chip).

Comment: For the MAVLink Gimbal, MAVLinkFTP is currently enabled also on STorM32 boards with F103RC chip, but this is so only momentarily for testing purposes and may be disabled at any time later.

Supported OpCodes/Commands

These opcodes/commands are support (unsupported commands will be NACKed with error code Fail): 

MAVFTP_OPCODE_None
MAVFTP_OPCODE_TerminateSession
MAVFTP_OPCODE_ResetSessions
MAVFTP_OPCODE_ListDirectory
MAVFTP_OPCODE_OpenFileRO
MAVFTP_OPCODE_ReadFile
MAVFTP_OPCODE_CalcFileCRC32

Comments on Compatibility

The STorM32's MAVLink support is fully compatible with the MAVLink standard (much time has been actually invested into ensuring this).

However, not all flight stacks fully support the MAVLink standard.

ArduPilot

ArduPilot doesn't support some relevant messages of the standard MAVLink message set. This can lead to enhanced traffic, since e.g. COMMAND_ACK messages are not routed/digested correctly, and some functions of the STorM32 such as the MAVLink camera micro service or passthrough configuration won't work properly.

Furthermore, the MAVLink messages and commands related to the control of a gimbal and their handling are somewhat of a mess.

A drastic example is the 3DR Solo drone. Here the issue is a combination of the infamous "reversed signs", use of non-standard/deprecated messages, and improper use of target system and component IDs. ArduPilot supports the official COMMAND_LONG commands (see Gimbal protocol) as well as it's own MOUNT_CONFIGURE and MOUNT_CONTROL messages, and that's why the STorM32 controller supported them. However, the 3DR Solo firmware emits MOUNT_CONFIGURE/MOUNT_CONTROL messages with target (0,1), which are forwarded to the gimbal according to the MAVLink routing rules, whereas the ArduPilot mount class sends MAV_CMD_DO_MOUNT_CONTROL commands to the gimbal. This leads to the situation that the STorM32 receives both the commands and the messages, which however carry conflicting data, and in addition there is a bug in the ArduPilot code.

Therefore, the STorM32's behavior has been changed with firmware v2.42: The ArduPilot-specific MOUNT_CONFIGURE and MOUNT_CONTROL messages are not supported anymore (except if explicitly enabled by setting Mavlink Version = “Mavlink1+v0.96”).

This resolves issues like those with the 3DR Solo: The messages send out by the Solo and forwarded to the STorM32 are ignored, so that the STorM32 only acts on the proper commands from the flight controller. This still doesn't make things work very well in MAVLINK_TARGETING mode however due to another bug in the ArduPilot code. But that's the best the STorM32 can do.

PX4

TBD.

MAVLink Gimbal

The MAVLink Gimbal component is enabled with the Mavlink Gimbal parameter, which also determines its component ID: “Gimbal1” corresponds to MAV_COMP_ID_GIMBAL (= 154), “Gimbal2” to MAV_COMP_ID_GIMBAL2 (= 171), “Gimbal3” to MAV_COMP_ID_GIMBAL3 (= 172), and so on:

  • Mavlink Gimbal = “Gimbal1” or higher
  • Mavlink Gimbal Stream: Activates the emission of the selected message with a frequency of 4 Hz.

The system ID can be adjusted via the Mavlink System ID parameter, which usually can be left at its default value.

With the setting Mavlink Version = “Mavlink1+v0.96”, the "old" MAVLink behavior is enabled. Especially, the ArduPilot-specific messages DIGICAM_CONTROL, MOUNT_CONFIGURE, and MOUNT_CONTROL are then also supported.

Messages

The following MAVLink messages are supported:

MAVLINK_MSG_ID_HEARTBEAT (#0, 0x00)

The emission of the heartbeat needs to be activated in the GUI via the Mavlink Gimbal parameter. The heartbeat is emitted at 1 Hz, with the following values:

  • type: MAV_TYPE_GIMBAL (= 26)
  • autopilot: MAV_AUTOPILOT_INVALID (= 8)
  • base_mode: MAV_MODE_FLAG_SAFETY_ARMED (= 0x80) is set in NORMAL mode, MAV_MODE_FLAG_CUSTOM_MODE_ENABLED (= 0x01) is always set
  • custom_mode: lowest byte (0x000000FF) = STATE value; highest bit (0x80000000) = set if prearm checks have not passed

MAVLINK_MSG_ID_COMPONENT_INFORMATION (#395, 0x18B)

See COMPONENT INFORMATION.

MAVLink Camera

The MAVLink Camera component is independent on the MAVLink Gimbal component, and can also be used then the MAVLink Gimbal component is disabled.

The setting in the Mavlink Camera parameter enables the MAVLink Camera component, and determines its component ID: “Camera1” corresponds to MAV_COMP_ID_CAMERA (= 100), “Camera2” to MAV_COMP_ID_CAMERA2 (= 101), and so on. In addition, MAVLink 2 must be enabled; otherwise many functions of the MAVLink Camera component won't work properly:

  • Mavlink Camera = “Camera1” or higher
  • Mavlink Version = “Mavlink2”

The system ID of the MAVLink Camera component is determined by the parameter Mavlink System ID, which is also used by the MAVLink Gimbal component, and usually can be left at its default value.

The MAVLink Camera component supports the File Transfer Protocol micro service, which allows us to download the camera definition .xml files directly from the STorM32 gimbal controller.

The MAVLink Camera component is deeply related to the NT Camera. This means that it works in conjunction with the Camera Control function and associated parameters in the [GUI:Functions] tab.

Comment: For camera models which need to establish a connection to the NT Camera module for operation, such as the GoPro Hero5, the heartbeat will be emitted only when a connection is established. For these camera models the connection status is displayed in the [GUI:Dashboard].
