Hello,
I am working with a Solo 3DR drone and an Intel Edison breakout board. I have MAVProxy communication working between the Edison and the drone. However, I cannot establish DroneKit connection for some reason. It seems I need this connection for programs to connect with my drone. Is this correct? I am new to this.
Here is my process:
I run a MAVProxy command from Edison: mavproxy.py --master=/dev/ttyUSB0
then, I run: api start vehicle_state.py --connect /dev/ttyUSB0
I get the error:
Exception in APIThread-2 Timeout in initializing connection
I know there are other forum posts out there about this - I've looked at many of them! - but I can't seem to solve my problem. I am using pymavlink v1.1.73, and I installed that from the python website.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
