Sending waypoint files through Python

ArduCopter Copter 3.5

Hi,
As the title says, I am trying to upload an entire waypoint file to the copter through a python script. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to do this? I can send individual points as of now, but I wish to do an entire file.

Hi,

You can use dronekit python. In the following link, you can see an example on how to send multiple mission commands (e.g. takeoff, waypoints, rtl).

Thank you Javier -I was looking more to do it using the same basic MAVlink commands that are outlined in the Mission planner documentation. Do you know of a way to do that? I know the MAVlink method relatively well and I would like to avoid learning all of Dronekit
