You can run dronekit from your ground computer. MissionPlanner also has the ability to run scripts.

@james_pattison in the link you posted i see there is only 6 commands you can use in a script, i dont see there is a takeoff command there or “flyto” commands there. are these 6 options the only options? or i actually can arm,takeoff and fly to given cooardinates?

I’ve never actually used Missionplanner scripting, I just knew it was there :slight_smile:
But you can arm, change mode, set throttle with it, so takeoff is possible. There’s almost certainly examples floating around: @Michael_Oborne might know more

check the scripts directory that ships with MP, there are some complex examples in there.
MP supports ironpython scripts, and c# scripts/plugins.

@Michael_Oborne thank you very much.
Is there a syntax wiki to see the syntax for commands?

syntax is just python.
available commands can be seen in the examples
