I build a drone very similar to the Rotor Riot Cinewhoop, I want to use a Raspberry Pi zero to make the drone fly autonomously. I think that the best idea is to use the Raspberry Pi as a receiver, and to send simple commands: throttle, roll, pitch, yaw, to the flight controller. I am not sure what connection is the best: serial, sbus? I have the T-motor MINI F7 (HD +OSD +VTX SWITCH). I know that I could use another flight controller (Pixhawk, or other autopilot) but I don't have money nor time to buy a new one. Thanks!!!

$\begingroup$ I think using this library could be a solution: github.com/1arthur1/PiSBUS $\endgroup$– Giol Vinyals i RocaCommented Jul 27, 2023 at 19:41

Yes, a serial communication protocol such as SBUS would be easiest.
There are a number of open source projects that explain how to use it, such as: https://github.com/bolderflight/sbus/blob/main/README.md

$\begingroup$ Thanks, noob question: is that particular one compatible with raspberry pi, is it the same as cmake? $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 26, 2023 at 14:03

$\begingroup$ Also: can this be done using python? Thank you very much! $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 26, 2023 at 14:10

$\begingroup$ I think you could probably use python, as the PI is powerful enough to run it. I don't know much about it though. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 27, 2023 at 8:23
