Simulating auxiliary functions

Hi,
I want to run simulations for switching auxiliary functions (specifically the seventh one: Save waypoint). Is there a way we could do that? I am running simulation on Gazebo, whilst using QGroundControl as my GCS. Something that we thought of was to map the transmitter controls on keyboard, but we are not sure of that.
Do let me know if you think there’s another way to go about it.

You can trigger them via via RC, explicit mavlink command, script or
button… explicit mavlink command would be good in your situation but
would require GCS changes to expose it nicely.

Ok I’ll try that and let you know how that goes. Thanks :slight_smile:

It worked, not completely! I tried this via mavproxy. Assigned the auxiliary function to RC7 option parameter in GCS. I am not sure where to access the saved waypoints. They showed on the cmd.

In MAVProxy you can use “wp list” and “wp save” - or “module load map”
followed by “wp list”
