This is a Dronekit based Pixhawk/APM connector lib in python, we use it on our companion computer(PBI-M2/ODROID XU4) to connect and control Pixhawk/APM through Mavlink. This is a project under developing.
Instead of using RC control, we use companion computer to give commands and missions to Pixhawk, then get feedback directly. There are some tutorials on http://dev.ardupilot.com that tell you how to Communicat with Raspberry Pi via MAVLink, Communicat with ODroid via MAVLink and other articles you may be interested in.
- Get Pixhawk system info
- Get Pixhawk parameters
- Add attribute and params listener
- Arm
- Take off
- Send NED Velocity
- Set Speed
- Go to somewhere
- Add/Update/Clear command
- Clone to local directory.
- Connect pixhawk with your companion computer(Pi, Odroid, or your laptop).
- Set the right port and baudrate for connection in test.py. Like:
vehicle = APMConnector('/dev/ttyUSB0',57600)
- Test
$ python test.py
