Full gimbal angle control #328
Conversation
Can you elaborate a bit? I am not sure I understand what this means... Are you saying that your Gimbal is reading the MAVLink message incorrectly, and therefore you want to invert the values you send from MAVSDK instead of fixing the Gimbal side? |

Hey Jonas! My payload on the gimbal is a quad rigged horn antenna. An antenna with two polarization. The gimbal is reading everything ok. I just want full control of where it points to. |

I see, so you need the roll axis. It was initially not exposed because cameras don't really need to set the roll axis 😇. @julianoes: do you have an opinion on that? |

| float pitch_deg = 1; // Pitch angle in degrees (negative points down) | ||
| float yaw_deg = 2; // Yaw angle in degrees (positive is clock-wise, range: -180 to 180 or 0 to 360) | ||
| float roll_deg = 3; // Roll angle in degrees |

Can we please change the order of the fields to match the usual MAVLink order: roll, pitch, yaw.

Sure. Shall I do it, or do you do it? As I said, this is my first time. Happy to help where I can.

I suggest you change it. Thanks!
This feature is a request as I have to use the gimbal I have in a certain way and the roll and pitch axis are switched.
As the pitch of the payload of the gimbal is vitally important, this feature is needed.
