Hello Caleb. I'm following your video but I cannot get dronekit to connect to mavproxy. It says no heartbeat found in last 5 seconds. Do you know what can be the possible problem here?

Hi is this system your recording from the onboard drone raspberry or from another device?

Hello Caleb, I want to start your course, but I have a concern. Python 2 is not supported anymore and Dronekit is not compatible with Python 3. With a virtual machine built on Ubuntu, will I still be able to use pip to install all the pacakges?

Hello, I'm starting a project that needs programming drone.
We have a S600 and want to use python.
I don't really know where to start 😅😐😣🙏

Where does this window opens to work on? I installed drone by your previous video and it was successful but now the open in which you are working, what is it? On which application are you working?

[dakshgarg]

I know this is weird but can anyone tell how can i get the i IP on which i have to connect my script like the ip of the vehicle

[maxns]

How has this technology not gone further? Python is a easy system to create a GUI where you would be able to apply dronekit code and functions to easily have a drone Delivery service type of application already done and completed..

[realherbalmeds]

[IgnacioMorris]
