I’m unsure if this is the right place to ask. If not, please direct me to the correct section.
I’m trying to use mavproxy, first locally in SITL, and later using a companion computer. So I now want to fly a basic waypoint mission all in mavproxy. To do this I first need to add a takeoff and then some waypoints. In the documentation I can only find info on how to load a full mission from a file (which works fine).
Since I want to be able to supply waypoints manually and on the fly, I checked the source code, and in there I found the undocumented function wp_add_takeoff(). I tried using it in a multitude of ways, but the best I get is the message “No position chosen”. As expected, this is because no latlon is defined, which I can see in the code comes from self.mpstate.click_location, of which mpstate is set in the
__init__() of the base class. Seeing the name click_location and the fact that it isn’t explicitly set anywhere in the code I presume this can only be set by using the GUI. I hope I’m wrong about that though, because I really want to be able to set it using a command. Or else I will need to construct a waypoint file and then load that (which I’m trying to avoid).
Does anybody know how I can add a takeoff using a command in mavproxy? All tips are welcome.
