kandi X-RAY | dronekit-python Summary
DroneKit-Python (formerly DroneAPI-Python) contains the python language implementation of DroneKit. The API allows developers to create Python apps that communicate with vehicles over MAVLink. It provides programmatic access to a connected vehicle's telemetry, state and parameter information, and enables both mission management and direct control over vehicle movement and operations. The API is primarily intended for use in onboard companion computers (to support advanced use cases including computer vision, path planning, 3D modelling etc). It can also be used for ground station apps, communicating with vehicles over a higher latency RF-link.

QUESTION
I am using dronekit-python in a docker container and am attempting to connect to an instance of MAVProxy running on my host machine (Mac OSX) using the following command:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-May-11 at 01:57I ended up getting MAVProxy on host and dronekit-python in the docker flask container properly connected.
Seemus790's answer in this gitter thread did the trick.
Working solution: MAVProxy on host machine (Mac OS in my case)
QUESTION
When I upload to the Pixhawk via Mission Planner, and then download it again, there doesn't seem to be any issue. But when I use Dronekit to upload a mission file, it comes back looking very strange.
Here's the (simplified) code I use to upload:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Apr-02 at 06:58I have made a post on the dronekit github explaining how to fix this issue. The issue linked below is one I created myself with the same question as above and I have answered it with the solution to this problem.
