Is it possible to execute python code from MavSDK on a drone?

MAVSDK
1

Hi I’m a french student and I have to create a drone for my school project. So I would like to know if it’s possible to create missions that my drone will execute simply by using the MAVSDK and not something else like a Raspberry Pi ? And also can I use the MAVSDK Python API on MacOS?

Thanks for your answers

Hello!

Just like you can plan missions from QGroundControl and directly send them to your autopilot (without the need for a companion computer, e.g. a Raspberry Pi), you can do that from MAVSDK :slight_smile:.

And yes, you can run MAVSDK-Python from macOS! You should be able to install it with:

pip install mavsdk

Note that mavsdk is currently outdated on PyPi for macOS, I’ll update that ASAP. You can track the issue here: https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK-Python/issues/118. In the meantime, of course you could use MAVSDK-Python from sources!
