Motivation

This code was written to test the capabilities of MAVSDK-Python when used with PX4 v 1.14.

Result

High Data Quality, Poor Data speed

The data gathering, while it includes the airspeed that is not currently available in PX4 ROS 2 topics, runs so slowly that it is not worth it.

TODO: insert table here with empirical results from data gathering.

No support for Actuator/Motor Control

My discussion with developers on the issue: https://discuss.px4.io/t/which-servo-to-which-set-actuator-value/39972/7

Easy to understand (compared to ROS 2)

Main files

1_and_3_dean_new_connect_receive_data.py
1-1_dean_alpha_beta.py
2_1_test_both_control

How to use

1. Set up PX4 Gazebo (and QGroundControl, if desired for debugging)
2. Run the python control file of choice.
