Provides a simplified python interface for controlling Mavlink capable flight controllers.
pip install mavcom
This is an example of how to use Mavcom with a simulated vehicle. To connect to a flight controller, you will most likely use UART0, therefore the connection path will instead be "/dev/ttyS0".
Run SITL:
sim_vehicle.py -v ArduCopter
from mavcom.mavcontrol import Mavcom
import time
vehicle = Mavcom(
connection_path = "127.0.0.1:14550",
)
vehicle.start()
while not vehicle.ready:
print("Waiting for vehicle to initialise...")
time.sleep(1)
vehicle.motors_armed = True
while not vehicle.motors_armed:
print("Waiting for motors to spin up...")
time.sleep(1)
vehicle.flight_mode = "GUIDED"
vehicle.takeoff(alt=10)
