Okay. Here is the cygwin terminal:
I get the error when: …/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py --map --console
CygwinTerminal:
Do you get the same error message when you do the below commands, try them.
- python -m pip install pymavlink
- cd Tools/autotest
- python sim_vehicle.py --map --console
cd Tools/autotest: No Such File or directory
I assumed you are at the ardupilot directory.
cd ardupilot/Tools/autotest
Since you are out of the arducopter directory you might need to do
python sim_vehicle.py -v ArduCopter --map --console
Hello I am getting the same error. I am not since why since I can see the module named pymavlink. It is located under /modules/mavlink/. Any help would be appreciated!
Had exactly the same issue, decided to run SITL on a VM running Ubuntu instead, works perfectly.
on running this command i am gettting python: can’t open file ‘sim_vehicle.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Hi,
I am still getting the same error as:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “…/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py”, line 30, in
from pymavlink import mavextra
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pymavlink’
I tried to install pymavlink separately and I got this error:

I encountered the same error message when running “…/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py --map --console”.
I tried to “pip install pymavlink” and it showed me I already had it.
I searched within the “ardupilot” directory and found it at “C:\cygwin64\home\[user]\ardupilot\modules\mavlink”.
Then I copied the “pymavlink” folder to “C:\cygwin64\home\[user]\ardupilot\Tools\autotest” and it worked.

Heitor your solution was the only one that worked for me, thanks you so much!
In case anyone missed, while doing that you must have cygwin closed. Then open MavProxy (No GUI) and then execute cygwin again, finally you write this: cd ~/ardupilot/ArduCopter
…/Tools/autotest/sim_vehicle.py --map --console.
I tried to install/update pymavlink and it was throwing error that “python.h” not found.
For me the below solution worked:
rm /usr/bin/python
ln -s /usr/bin/python3.6 /usr/bin/python
