SwarmKit

This is the wrapper for drone control and swarming library.

The wrapper is based on pymavlink and server/client communicating written in python-socket. To use the wrapper server called "swarm" function to running on the same system by multiple threading.

Important Notes

• Python 3.7+ is required (threading will be duprecated, instead of asyncio).
• You may need to run pip3 instead of pip and python3 instead of python, depending of your system defaults.

Installation

first, build up a virtual enviroment

python3 -m venv [YOUR_ENV]

and then run:

source [YOUR_ENV]/bin/activate

install requirments:

pip3 install -r requirments.txt

The package contains mavsdk_server already (previously called "backend"), which is started automatically when connecting (e.g. await drone.connect()). Have a look at the examples to see it used in practice. It will be something like:

from ctl.control import Core, Drone, ConnectionType

...

core = Core()
# you can choose type for udp or serial_port
core.connect(ConnectionType.udp, [PORT])
drone = Drone(core)
drone.initialize()

Note: core.connect --help will show detail information for uav connection.

Run the examples

Once the package has been installed, the examples can be run:

python3 ./gcs.py
