Pymavlink with Ardurover

RezaB · July 8, 2019, 8:38pm

Hi, I am trying to control the speed of my rover through a python program using either pymavlink, or Dronekit, however I am unable to find any documentation on using either library with rover. Is using them with rover similar to with copter? If not could some one point me to some documentation, if there is any?

@RezaB, at some point I’m hoping to build out the MAVLink Interface section of our wiki but in any case, I think controlling rover should be very similar to controlling Copter. Rover has Guided mode just like Copter and it should accept many of the same commands to make the vehicle move around.

hello,

Yes most of the command will be the same as copter !
You could find some example in our autotests : https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/Tools/autotest/apmrover2.py

The file https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/master/Tools/autotest/apmrover2.py vanished, where can I find these examples now?
