Advice needed mavproxy gui based application

[Mash (Alan Boldock)]

Hi folks,
I’m writing a TKInter GUI application, the final target is going to be Raspberry Pi (but that’s not important at this stage) What I’m wondering is there seems to be several options that I can see for development:

1. Use Mavproxy to route to a external application running Dronekit-python
2. write a Mavproxy native module that starts a GUI (I’ve not tried this yet but as the --map, works I assume its possible)
3. a mavproxy module that routes to an external GUI
4. some other approach I don’t see yet that is amazing!
   Does anyone else have experience with this? What was your way to approach this? I’m leaning to option1 as I’ve already partially implemented this.
   Pros/cons?
   Thanks for any advice

• Use Mavproxy to route to a external application running Dronekit-python
• write a Mavproxy native module that starts a GUI (I’ve not tried this yet but as the --map, works I assume its possible)

Either of those would work. If you want an example of a TKinter MAVProxy module, take a look at the checklist module at cuav/cuav/modules at master · CanberraUAV/cuav · GitHub
