Mavros publishes messages as bursts
Hi,
I have a pixhawk connected to an onboard computer over serial port (baud rate 57600). I get /mavros/local_position/odom at ~8 Hz. However, when I plot timestamps of the messages, I get a graph like this : 
What I can see from here is that the odom messages come as bursts.
I'm looking for :
- What causes this?
- How can I get a smoother odom output?
- What additional information would be needed to isolate the problem?
Thank you!
I have no experience whatsoever with
mavros, but you could see whether is uses a buffer of some kind somewhere. Perhaps also check whether it's using TCP (instead of UDP) and Nagle is not turned off.
