that would be really really great. because the functional gimbal control enhancements in ardupilot3.3 mostly created for storm32 gimbal which can already communicate via mavlink. but think if you support it in this way many sbgc32 users will do notch change the board. because this mavlink feature on storm32, i am also thinking about to change my gimbal controller board.
@ garug, for example see gps gimbal tracking with pixhawk and storm32. gimbal moves independent from copter.this mean your flightcontroller communicate with gps tracker and with gimbal. both use mavlink to communicant. example video here:
yes, and you can develop your own applications for android using https://github.com/dronekit/dronekit-android. for example and video detection object tracking system. or what you ever have in mind.
edit: the real minus here, maybe this close a gap to more dangerous applications. gimbals also can carry sick play-load.
