This is the script I am running to connect to a drone with px4 autopilot with a USB cable in com4.
from dronekit import connect
vehicle = connect(‘com4’, wait_ready=True)
print(“connection command run”)
This is the error it continually throws:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “C:/Users/ethan/project/DroneKit Test.py”, line 6, in
vehicle = connect(‘com4’, wait_ready=True)
File “C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\dronekit_init_.py”, line 3159, in connect

I would really appreciate your help with this. I have been stuck at trying to connect to my drone for over a month. Also, if you have an alternative to dronekit that could you point me in the right direction and maybe include sample code to connect to the drone? Thank you!
