Lighthouse and AI-Deck compatibility
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2020 5:33 pm
Hello,
I hope this is the correct place for my question.
I´m working on the Lighthouse and AI-Deck compatibility. The GAP8 of the AI-Deck and the FPGA of the Lighthouse-Deck share the same UART1 connection, which is why they cannot communicate with the CF2 at the same time. To fix that cutting of communication, the flow of data from the GAP8-chip must be diverted via SPI to the ESP32 based NINA-chip and then through UART2 to the core.
My question is: Does the data transfer from Crazyflie to Gap8 also have to run via NINA? Or can the data from the drone continue to be sent via UART1? Will the Lighthouse-deck be disturbed when it receives data that were intended for the AI deck, or can it “ignore“ them?

Thanks!
