override baudrate for ECS32 in qgroundcontrol?

Postby johandm_be » Thu Jul 25, 2013 5:18 pm

Hi,

I am using qgroundcontrol (on windows) to do my ESC32 current calibrations.
Because of the nature of the current calibration, I thought it was a good idea to setup a wireless serial link, so I can move the propeller and battery a bit further away where it can't hurt me...

The wireless link is made with 2 XBees. There is a limitation though: these XBees can only do standard baudrates up to 115200. (above that, it apparently can only do 200000 and 250000 baud)

I can change the baudrate of the ESCs by sending: "set baud_rate = 115200" and "config write" to it (from a terminal window). After that, everything works fine if I connect to the ESC32 from a terminal window and I can use the ESC over a 115200 baud connection (either wired or wireless, both work)

The problem I have is: in qgroundcontrol -> ESC32 settings the "connect esc32" no longer works. Apperently QGroundControl always expects the ESC32 to be in 230400 baud configuration.

Is there a way I can tell QGroundControl to connect to the ESC32 in 115200 baudrate?

Thanks and kind regards,
Johan.

no, not at the moment.
I didn't test a other baud rate as 230400baud.
We need a high speed, because I sample 3Values a 1000Hz via the serial device.
Maybe on the next release we can add a selection for baud rate.
But again, it's not tested with 115200 or lower baud rate!
