How To Stream Video Into MissionPlanner
A ton of you and your robot builds have cameras on them. Did you know you can stream video from your vehicles camera directly into MissionPlanner for a FPV perspective?
It’s pretty simple if you follow our steps, but can take weeks if you don’t. It’s all made possible with a program called MJPG-STREAMER, which accesses your camera on your companion computer (like a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano) and streams the frames over the internet. MissionPlanner can then get granted access to this stream, and voila!
Below is a summary of everything covered in this project:
- Install MJPG-STREAMER to your companion computer
- How to start the MJPG-STREAMER command
- What options you have with the startup command
- How to access your camera feed on a browser
- How to access your camera feed in MissionPlanner
