Hi,
Can anyone help me how to take snapshots using hires_snapshot feature in python script in voxl2. I am able to see /hires_snapshot topic in ros but unable to process through it.

you would need libmodal_pipe bindings in python which we haven't done. QGC can initiate a snapshot, maybe mavsdk can too?

@Chad-Sweet Thanks for reply, 
I am just triggering via python subprocess 
```
voxl-send-command hires_snapshot snapshot
```
able to get snapshots. 

will try to look into mavsdk also.
