How can i reterive the gps information from my pixhawk device using the esp8266 wifi module using Arudnio IDE application ?

Using Arduino Programming Questions

#include <mavlink.h>
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>

const char* ssid = "YourWiFiSSID";
const char* password = "YourWiFiPassword";

WiFiClient client;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // Connect to WiFi
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("WiFi connected");

  // Setup MAVLink
  mavlink_message_t msg;
  mavlink_status_t status;

  // Initialize MAVLink
  mavlink_reset_channel_status(MAVLINK_COMM_0);
  mavlink_msg_gps_raw_int_t gps_data;

  // Setup serial communication with Pixhawk
  Serial1.begin(57600); // Adjust baud rate according to your Pixhawk configuration
}

void loop() {
  // Receive MAVLink messages
  while (Serial1.available() > 0) {
    uint8_t c = Serial1.read();
    if (mavlink_parse_char(MAVLINK_COMM_0, c, &msg, &status)) {
      // Handle GPS data
      if (msg.msgid == MAVLINK_MSG_ID_GPS_RAW_INT) {
        mavlink_gps_raw_int_t gps_data;
        mavlink_msg_gps_raw_int_decode(&msg, &gps_data);

        // Process GPS data
        // You can access GPS data from gps_data structure (e.g., gps_data.lat, gps_data.lon, etc.)
        // Do whatever you want with the GPS data here
        Serial.print("Latitude: ");
        Serial.println(gps_data.lat);
        Serial.print("Longitude: ");
        Serial.println(gps_data.lon);
        // Print other GPS data as needed
      }
    }
  }
}

Here's an example code we are trying to retrieve GPS information from the Pixhawk device using the ESP8266 WiFi module through the Arduino IDE application. Could someone please help us with this?

Welcome to the forum

Please follow the advice given in the link below when posting code, in particular the section entitled 'Posting code and common code problems'

Use code tags (the < CODE/ > icon above the compose window) to make it easier to read and copy for examination

https://forum.arduino.cc/t/how-to-get-the-best-out-of-this-forum

In my experience the easiest way to tidy up the code and add the code tags is as follows

Start by tidying up your code by using Tools/Auto Format in the IDE to make it easier to read. Then use Edit/Copy for Forum and paste what was copied in a new reply. Code tags will have been added to the code to make it easy to read in the forum thus making it easier to provide help

Hello @UKHeliBob !!
so is this correct format?

The actual format of the code is a matter for discussion, but by using code tags you have made the code easier to read and copy for examination if required
