Controlling MAVLink drones with MAVSDK - Jonas Vautherin - PX4 Developer Summit 2019

[@pratikprajapati8620]

Can we send custom PWM commands to motors using MAVSDK?

[@HumanHiLiteReel]

I really wish someone would come along and write a node-red driver for mavlink to lower the barrier of entry for us non-programming types...

How can I extend MissionItem's member function? I want to PlugIn more functions in MissionItem class.

How can we activate a servo directly using mavsdk commands?

[@nevzattanver8879]

Hello jonas,i am really appreciated about these libraries,but i really wonder one thing in presentation,you say that we can connect the "jmavsim" interface but what about a real system using pixhawk 1? What should i write inside the connect() instead of connect(host="127.0.0.1") to connect the real drone from my computer? And can i use a python to hover my drone or offboard velocity with .py files? İ am using ubuntu,pixhawk 1 and 3dr telemetry. Thanks for your care.

Hello, did you solve the problem?

[@nevzattanver8879]

@@AzizKerimzhanov-ho3cb yes i solved,i preferred "dronekit" instead of "MavSDK". Aldı in mavsdk if you want to control Real drone,you need to write /dev/ttyUSB0(something like this,you can find this in examples folder in PX4 directory) inside the connect() function(i assumed that you are using telemetry). if you want to ise dronekit,i can help you btw. i can share my codes

Hey Jonas, How different would the program be if Im to use this on a flight controller running Ardupilot ? Is it possible to run the same commands and format ?

[@allyouneedtoknow8638]

mavsdk only support px4 autopliot

Can we develop an Android app or IOS app for controlling a drone by the voice with MAVSDK JAVA or MAVSDK SWIFT?

[@JonasVautherin]

Sure. MAVSDK won't do the voice recognition for you, but I don't see why you couldn't make an Android/iOS app that listens to voice commands and converts that to whatever you want (here MAVSDK commands) :-).

[@Kedriik]

How can I know if specific drone uses MAVLink protocol ? Does mavic mini use it ?

[@JonasVautherin]

None of the DJI drones do, as DJI uses a proprietary protocol. It's not easy to say how you can know. I guess the drone manufacturer would have to advertise it. Yuneec, for instance, manufactures consumer drones that support MAVLink and MAVSDK.

[@Kedriik]

@@JonasVautherin I really appreciate your response. Thank you. My goal is to play with artificial inteligence and drones. Iam looking for as small drone with camera as possible. What drone should I be after ?

[@JonasVautherin]

@@Kedriik I would advise you to join the PX4 slack (slack.px4.io/) or forum (discuss.px4.io/) and ask the community there :-).

[@thedeadbaby]

Saw the simulator and knew this video was useless for me. How do you actually connect to a physical device that's flying around in the sky? It's ridiculous to think that udp works in that case.

[@higer2797]

great, i am sick of dronekit

[@SairajeshMandaloju]

how to go with jmavsim like which temminal is used
