Handles the communication between host computer and the HighLevel Processor (HLP) of the AscTec Autopilot board.
Can connect to either one or two (e.g. for separate rx/tx wireless links) serial ports. The default baudrate can be changed up to 921600 baud. Messages can be sent with Comm::sendPacket or Comm::sendPacketAck . Messages are received by setting a callback function with Comm::registerCallback for the message id to receive.

connects to the specified serial port(s) with the given baudrate. The HLP sets it's baudrate automatically.
The port names can be equal, then it connects only to one serial port (most common operation). It can also connect to different ports for rx and tx. This is useful when e.g. two wireless modules (one for rx, one for tx) such as XBee are used to connect to the helicopter and bandwidth of one link is to low. rx/tx is seen from the host computer running the communication node. Any baudrate can be set. If it doesn't match a standard baudrate, the closest standard baudrate is chosen. If the HLP doesn't "hear" anything from the node for ~10s, it will go into autobaud mode. During connection setup, the node sends 'a' to the HLP, which will then configure its baudrate automatically.
- Parameters:
-
| port_rx | port to use for rx |
| port_tx | port to use for tx |
| baudrate | baudrate to connect with. equal for both ports. The baudrate finally chosen is written to baudrate. |
- Returns:
- connection successful
