Hi afriends, I’m trying to run the dronekit command on navio2, but I’m getting an error, can you help?
Hi Ramazan,
Please double-check that you’ve specified the correct IP address in the launch file: the loopback IP and the IP of the GCS.
It’s also necessary to start the ArduPilot to execute the scripts. The script outputs a timeout exception when autopilot is not started.
To learn more about working with Dronekit, you can use their detailed wiki. For running the example, I suppose you would need to change the IP address for loop one, like this:
python vehicle_state.py --connect udpin:127.0.0.1:14550
Hi Polina,
You said check the launch file, how can I do that?
and I changed the IP address as you said but I got the error again.
Hi Ramazan,
The launch file is the one you configure before working with Navio2. For example, for working with ArduCopter it can be /etc/default/arducopter. The process of its initialization is described in our docs.
It can look like this:
TELEM1="-A udp:127.0.0.1:14500"
TELEM2="-C udp:GCS's_IP:14550"
ARDUPILOT_OPTS="$TELEM1 $TELEM2"
Thank you my mistake was in the initialization file
