SITL waiting for heartbeat from tcp:127.0.0.1:5760

dmcphee1 · August 31, 2021, 11:11pm

Hi all, I’m trying to simulate ArduCopter in SITL using Cygwin on a Windows 10 machine. Having followed the instructions on the ArduPilot website, when launching SITL the console shows link 1 down, and the copter fails to show on the map.

Has anyone had experience with this particular issue? I’ve searched around online, without much success. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Mavproxy shows the following:

Connect tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 source_system=255
Loaded module console
Loaded module map
Log Directory:
Telemetry log: mav.tlog
Waiting for heartbeat from tcp:127.0.0.1:5760

And here is the Cygwin output:

Ardupilot doesn’t currently run if there’s a space in the path. You’ll need to change the folder that Ardupilot is in.
