I would like to add a payload release system on the Matrice M210 drone. I have seen the diagram for the expansion port on the rear of the machine. There is a note in the documentation that says * coming soon. I am not clear if it referring to this functionality or something else on the page. Has anyone mapped an external device and been able to access it via Cedence radio?
Any advice or information on how to accomplish this task would be much appreciated.
If you refer to the GPIO pins, the Mobile SDK controls for them are coming soon.
You can achieve this today using the OnboardSDK.

I am writing a Go application for Mac and Windows, which will perform some action whenever there is a network change( Client move from Wi-fi 1 to Wi-fi 2 or to 3G to LAN). I am aware of a solution for Application running on mac in swift language but I am looking for a platform-agnostic solution here.
So far I have tried checking for an event on an interface but I am not sure if that is sufficient.
I expect that on a network change (moving from Wifi-1 to Wifi-2 or 3G or LAN) my Go app should be able to know to take some action.
I doubt there would be such a solution.
Every project which tries to provide some platform-agnostic solution to an inherently OS-tied problem inevitably hides the platform-specific details behind a common API.
Look at https://github.com/fsnotify/fsnotify for a good example.
So, I'd take that route and would have put up a package which would have two platform-specific "backends" which would be compiled conditionally using build tags.
To get notified about network-related events under Windows,
you should probably start here.
Unfortunately, this stuff is COM-oriented, but you could use https://github.com/go-ole/go-ole to help with that.
You might also ask a non-Go-specific question tagged winapi to ask about what would be the best way to hook into the kernel to get notified about the availability of the networks.
There is no platform agnostic solution that exists, however platforms like OSx,Linux,Windiws has ways to get network events with their platform specific limitations.
OSx: Raw socket SOCK_RAW of AF_ROUTE type can be used to detect any network events that occurs in user machine. there are various types of network event that can be detected.
This thread talk about an example on BSD for network event
Windows : Windows has its APIs given as part of iphlpapi library. APIs like NotifyAddrChange, NotifyRouteChange allows you to have almost all network events( apart from metric change etc.) this git repo has a working example NotifyAddrChange, which gives back and event whenever a interface goes down or comes up.
Linux : In Linux netlink sockets allows a user space application to receive network events using netlink sockets.
By default gammu have support for most standard modem. I have a very particular modem with some special requirements and I would like to add a protocol to gammu.
Is there a guide for this somewhere or someone who can list the basic steps for me?
EDIT: #user1664784 recommended to look att Kannel, and actually any system able to handle incoming and outgoing SMS is acceptable as long as it is stable. But I need to know how to modify the system so that I can handle a specific protocol. It is AT-based but a slight dialect. So any suggestion of a system handling SMS from a device connected over serial port is interesting. I need to find a system where someone can give me information on where in the source code I can begin adding a new AT-based protocol.
If someone have done some sample code in this area it would also be greatly appreciated.
It really depends how much different it is from standard AT commands.
If the difference is minor (eg. needs custom initialization), it can be easily achieved by feature flags. This can be seein ATGEN_PostConnect which handles initialization for ZTE or Huawei devices.
If the differences are big, you will probably need to write own driver, which will fall back to AT in some cases. Something similar can be seen in the AT OBEX driver which switches Bluetooth connection between OBEX and IrMC modes.
I think we used to have documentation on adding support for new devices, but I'm unable to find it right now.
I am working with Google Tango to extract data from the tablet and use it at the same time in another device. I am trying to record the data and use it with another laptop via live streaming.
I've looked at various topics about it and I found the Paraview topic. However the App records the data, save as ZIP file and send it via bluetooth(which is fine for me). I do not want to save the file as ZIP format and send it to another device. I want to record and use the data via live streaming(bluetooth or Wi-Fi).
Is that possible? How can I do it?
Paraview shared the source code so I think I can change it make it work for me. However I am not really used to programming.
Thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
You might want to use sockets: setting a socket server on your computer and connecting to it via your tablet. It is a way to transfer information via what is called, for example, a TCP protocol.
However, there might be a more efficient way to do what you want to achieve with USB debugging. I did not got able to make USB debugging work yet on the tablet and computer I worked with.
You could use TangoAnywhere, I developed it so you can broadcast Google Tango position and orientation data to any device.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.grauonline.tangoanywhere
You connect using a TCP client on your PC/Mac (simple TCP client written Python or something) to port 8080 of your Tango device and will get the position data in realtime.
I recommend the Tango ROS Streamer app which enables you to choose which data (position, point cloud, RGB image) to stream or not.
You will need ROS to retrieve the data. On Linux ROS is easy to install, otherwise use a docker image of ROS.
Caution: the theorical WiFi bandwidth does not enable to stream all the RGB frames at full resolution without dropping some.
I have been Trying since past two weeks just make the TI Sensor tag transmit URL to a Android App. Please let me know as to how I can Modify the Sensortag and transmit it.
I'm afraid I can't answer your question directly but have you looked at Physical Web? It might be interesting/useful. https://github.com/google/physical-web
The problem background - there are two different windows applications that are trying to access webcam on the computer at the same time. Currently, only one application is able to access to it. I want to be able to allow both applications to simultaneously access the webcam. A common example of my problem is, skype and yahoo messenger trying to access the webcam on the computer at the same time.
I found a few softwares (manycam.com, http://www.splitcamera.com/) that allow this on windows. But I am not sure how they implemented it. I want to write the code myself to achieve this since my code needs to be integrated with other APIs.
I appreciate if anyone can shed light on how to write a device wrapper to achieve this.
The kernel camera driver registers several OS-defined callbacks. One of the callbacks is used for the output stream. Dedicated Windows applications have an interface to this stream - you'll need to do some reading on this subject, it's not something that can be covered in scope of SO. You need a component that will be layered in between the client applications and the camera driver. This component should intercept your camera driver output and duplicate it for the registered clients. This can be achieved either in kernel (filter driver) or in user mode (preferable). http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff557573%28v=vs.85%29.aspx is a good place to start.
Note: this functionality might be already supported by your camera software (though I think the chances are very slim) and in this case you should dig into the corresponding documentation.
