Controlling drone using PC keyboard

ArduCopter Copter 4.6
1

Hello,

I am looking for advice for flying my drone using the keyboard on a PC connected via WiFi to the drone which will have an ESP32 with dronebridge. For context, it is supposed to be an autonomous drone but I would like to have some manual control override using the PC groundstation in case something goes wrong as I may not have an RC TX always handy.

I just want to make sure I have all failsafes set up correctly and have stuff like emergency land or something in case the drone goes haywire.

Thanks

you could use Vjoy - create a virtual game controller and then map that to the drone in mission planner.

Is there an alternative for Linux?
