dronekit / dronekit-sitl Goto Github PK

Added to the download options.

While you're at it, would be quite nice to get the latest copter build too.

Currently a home parameter is required for TCP connections to work. If this is still required, then a default should be supplied.

As a new user of dronekitI am trying to make sense of my developer environment. That being said I believe SITL has something to do with the simulator, but I would like to know what the entire Acronym represents.

I just followed the readme, and it didn't work.

dronekit-sitl copter-3.3-rc5 -I0 -S --model quad --home=-35.363261,149.165230,584,353

It would wipe the params, but not load the default ones. So I couldn't arm because the RC wasn't calibrated.

This:
dronekit-sitl solo-1.2.0 -I0 -S --model quad --home=-35.363261,149.165230,584,353
does not work, resulting in:
./ArduCopter.elf: illegal option — -

However, using copter-3.3 does work:
dronekit-sitl copter-3.3 -I0 -S --model quad --home=-35.363261,149.165230,584,353

those fixed wing dudes love them dronekits

I am trying to run dronekit-sitl on Raspberry Pi, without success. I have already run it on linux normally.
Here is what happens:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dronekit-sitl copter-3.3

Can anyone help me?

The example suggests you first run

dronekit-sitl copter-3.4-dev -I0 -S --model quad --home=-35.363261,149.165230,584,353

Then

mavproxy.py --master tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 --sitl 127.0.0.1:5501 --out 127.0.0.1:14550 --out 127.0.0.1:14551

This second call only works if you've installed mavproxy. It would be much simpler for users if mavproxy were automatically installed and this command was run by the dronekit-sitl-runner. I imagine that might not be too hard for linux/mac because you could make mavproxy a dependency of the dronekit-sitl runner package?

On windows manual installation of all the mavproxy dependencies is a pain so typically we use the installer version. However I'm not sure how you would pass the second line above to that installer version of mavproxy.

@tcr3dr @TShapinsky - would appreciate your thoughts.

So dronekit-sitl copter --gimbal does not allow a connection - a dk script will fail without receiving heartbeat (on windows).

The architecture is there, but had to be removed temporarily due to floating point exceptions on Windows and a mismatched pysim version elsewhere.

The -h option isn't working properly on builds I've tried on Windows (should be giving me the help options from ArduCopter.elf') . Could somehow be due to #40 except that the .elf file is being launched.

we now support python3, we either remove our pip2 traces and let the user decide, or add instructions for pip3

The tool is creating a folder named %HOMEPATH% in the current directory - ie so there is no global repo of builds being downloaded. I suspect that the intention is that this be expanded to the user's homepath.

I do get the right expansion on the command line:

D:\deleteme\test>echo %HOMEPATH%
\Users\hamis_000

This may be caused by other issues with my computer, but I'd still appreciate advice on debugging.

Aka:

$ dronekit-sitl --help
You can look up help for a particular vehicle by running:
    dronekit-sitl copter --help
    dronekit-sitl plane --help

Where these will load the default copter/plane versions (just like dronekit-sitl copter -S -I0... would)

we should aim to install this under /usr/local/ expose the executable somewhere in the hosts PATH and store downloads under the install directory

Is there a way to start a dronekit-sitl instance without having internet?

When I don't have internet and try to do it, I get this error:

APM params, such was WPNAV_SPEED, are not being preserved between dronekit-sitl launches. Dronekit-sitl is being invoked like this:

dronekit-sitl solo-1.2.0 --home=37.331816,-122.029598,0,90

I have been able to test our installation instructions "a bit" on linux. I opened a recent Linux ubuntu build in a VM and installed the dronekit-sitl runner exactly as in the instructions (except using "sudo" prefix).

Once running, the dronekit-sitl-runner gets to a point as shown:

Started model quad at -35.363261,149.165230,584,353 at speed 1.0
Starting sketch 'ArduCopter'
Starting SITL input
bind port 5760 for 0
Serial port 0 on TCP port 5760
Waiting for connection ....

I then used ifconfig to get the IP address of the VM and was able to connect over TCP from Mission Planner running on the host windows computer (to port 5760).

However I can't seem to connect to the instance using UDP from the host or the VM. I've tried
mavproxy.py --master=127.0.0.1:14550
and
mavproxy.py --master=192.168.65.133:14550 (ip address of the VM)
and
mavproxy.py --master=192.168.65.133:5760 (the TCPIP port)

I also changed the output of the SITL to be the IP address of the host.

Does this work/how do I get this working? Basically I need to get the linux->linux working so that the dronekit instructions make sense.

can the solo version of dronekit-sitl or any other sitl instance execute smart shots?

SITL doesn't have default params by default so you can't pass arming checks on first load and the default params won't allow arming or flight.

The system should make this easy for you

• automatically load the autotest params for the vehicle on first load (only) - these include disabling the armed_check param.
• There there should be some command line argument to allow a new set of params to be loaded on startup OR a way to restart/reset back to the defaults (but this shouldn't be called automatically after the first startup).

when issuing any Dronekit-sitl command such as dronekit-sitl --list, dronekit/lib/init.py fails trying to import errprinter from dronekit.tools.

OS: OSX
dronekit-sitl version: 3.0.1

steps to reproduce

1. install dronekit-sitl
2. issue any dronekit-sitl command, i.e. dronekit-sitl --list

result
File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/dronekit/lib/init.py", line 7, in
from dronekit.tools import errprinter
ImportError: No module named tools

expected result
dronekit-sitl commands should work as described

SITL starts by exposing a TCP port. Ideally you should be able to connect this using a localhost address, but this failed on windows. That means that the instructions to get the "full URL" for connecting end up needing to be quite complicated (e.g. on windows, got to commandprompt, run ipconfig, get current address then do ....)

It would be better if

• Localhost connection to the TCP port worked
• Rather than just printing the TCP port to connect on, the tool printed the full IP address and port to connect to.

I followed the instructions on windows in a command prompt (ActiveState Python 2.7.8). The runner appeared to install fine but I got the above error when try to run SITL.

for Windows and Linux but porque no los tres

Then this sorts out all platforms.

while the basics are great we need more flexibility

there are times where latest doesn't make sense

I installed the runner as shown on Windows:

Then ran dronekit-sitl copter-3.2.1. Note error when trying to run SITL, as shown below:

ARMING_CHECK is disabled, and SITL uses test parameters that are flying friendly (unlike sim_vehicle.sh SITL which starts with unfriendly parameters and ARMING_CHECK enabled).

From this comment:

To run dronekit-sitl I end up invoking python -m dronekit_sitl_runner.init which isn't the prettiest (I need to invoke mavproxy similarly through python -m MAVProxy.mavproxy, but at least it looks nicer). The -m flag won't let me name a function to call, so I had to add the following to init.py:
....
After that, python -m dronekit_sitl_runner.init --list works as expected.

The bug is that you should not need to run python -m dronekit_sitl. Using python -m should of course be possible.

windows is still a thing, what can we do to support them?

I'm using dronekit-sitl copter to start my sitl.

Then in another terminal I do: mavproxy.py --master tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 --sitl 127.0.0.1:5501 --out 127.0.0.1:14550 --out 127.0.0.1:14551

Then I open APM Planner 2.0 (version 2.0.18) and it connects to the vehicle, but after like 10-15 seconds the voice says "Link lost to system 1"... Only if I restart the application I can see updates... but only lasts for 10-15 seconds.

Is there something I need to do to prevent those disconnects?

I uninstalled dronekit-sitl, then re-installed using pip2 install dronekit-sitl -UI. Then called dronekit-sitl --reset. I tried all the builds a number of times. I rebooted the computer. Repeatable results below.

The following three downloaded and started fine (ie binding the port). However only one heartbeat was received in all cases on Mission Planner - ie failed with timeout.

dronekit-sitl copter-3.3-rc11
dronekit-sitl copter-3.3-rc5

Currently this has copter-3.3-rc5 which is now quite "old":

1. What builds will will have by default?
2. How often will we update?
3. Can we automate creation of needed builds?

The Windows versions were generated with wrong directories and manually fixed. The OS X versions don't seem to all target GCC.

Need to fix the Windows builder and re-run the OS X builds.

If you run dronekit-sitl or dronekit-sitl --help you get the following options:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dronekit-sitl 
Please specify one of:
  dronekit-sitl --list
  dronekit-sitl --reset
  dronekit-sitl <copter(-version)>
  dronekit-sitl <plane(-version)>

However I can see from your example I can actually specify more options (model, home, IO, s):

dronekit-sitl copter-3.4-dev -I0 -S --model quad --home=-35.363261,149.165230,584,353

Is there a list of all options we can pass anywhere?

The help above and the readme.md should make it clear that there are additional commands that can be supported.

This comment shows how to set up a local build. This needs to be put into Readme

I'd do it myself but couldn't get things to work so can't test - #29

After getting a sitl session set up, I kept getting the error "rc not calibrated". Loading params with param load <ardupilot>\Tools\autotest\copter_params.parm fixed the problem. It would be nice to have these auto-loaded. If that is not doable, an extra sentence in the readme to remind users to load params would be good.

To set up SITL you call the following lines( in separate terminals):

dronekit-sitl copter-3.4-dev -I0 -S --model quad --home=-35.363261,149.165230,584,353
mavproxy.py --master tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 --sitl 127.0.0.1:5501 --out 127.0.0.1:14550 --out 127.0.0.1:14551

The first line starts SITL which only exposes its TCP connection and waits.

The second line spawns an instance of mavproxy that connects SITL TCP and forwards packets to UDP localhost.

The requirement is that dronekit-sitle-runner spawn mavproxy for you. This would be more like using the familiar sim_vehicle.sh

Rather than have a parameter list, it is cheaper and more consistent to package a default eeprom file with the SITL runner.

Following on from #34 I retested connections. The following call fails to connect over tcp from Mission Planner. I can see that a connection is briefly made (the listen port number updates from 5760 to 5763 and MP reports "Only one heartbeat supplied). I can also see that the default --home location is supplied as expected:

dronekit-sitl copter-3.3-rc11

I can connect if I supply the model as shown below:

dronekit-sitl copter-3.3-rc11 --model quad

So we need to supply model as well. Note, I assume that rover/plane don't have a "model" but they may. We need to check passing an invalid default to them doesn't cause problems.

Note - same problem/fix on the solo build too.
