Integration with Ardupilot compatible autopilots

[dfcscience]

I am using a Humminbird Helix 7 G4 MEGA SI on an autonomous boogie board boat, which uses a Pixhawk for waypoint navigation. I can send the position data from the Pixhawk's GPS to the Humminbird but I would like to use the pitch, roll, and yaw data in the Pixhawk log file to improve georectification

Thanks for your inquiry! I really dig your autonomous boogie board boat!

Correcting georectification using pitch, roll, and yaw data is a great idea. Unfortunately, that functionality is not available in PINGMapper and I don't have a lot of time to work on it at the moment. I have been giving it a think and can imagine ways to correct for each of those factors individually, but am in the dark as to how to resolve them to a final correction. If you had ideas on how the math and workflow might work, that would certainly help. I'll keep this issue open to document any ideas that come up.

I am going to convert this to a discussion to clear out open issues.

I may be able to start to work on this in the coming months. Do you have an example recording and the Pixhawk log file that I might be able to test any workflows that I develop?
