Piloting Commands are not working

DHBW · February 27, 2022, 5:54pm

Hello everyone,
when trying to control the Parrot Anafi from the keyboard with the following script from @ndessart :

gist.github.com

https://gist.github.com/ndessart/ec595102b4bd9df390900deeae90c83c

olympe_keyboard.py

# -*- coding: UTF-8 -*-

import olympe
import subprocess
import time
from olympe.messages.ardrone3.Piloting import TakeOff, Landing, PCMD
from pynput.keyboard import Listener, Key, KeyCode
from collections import defaultdict
from enum import Enum

This file has been truncated. show original

the piloting commands except takeoff and landing are not executed by the drone.

A physical drone with skycontroller connected to PC is used.

The infolog says that the PCMD commands are sent but the drone does not move.

Thanks a lot

Hi,

By default, the SkyController sends its own PCMDs computed from the joystick values, and ignores the secondary controller (usually FreeFlight, but your Olympe application in this case) commands to avoid conflicts.

This can be changed by using the copiloting commands of the SkyController and set the piloting source to “CONTROLLER”. In this case, the SkyController will send your own commands, not the ones based on its joysticks.

Regards,
Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas,

the piloting source is set to “CONTROLLER” and the IP-Adress is set to 192.168.53.1 to use the SkyController.

Hi,

I tried it again today without a controller with a WLAN connection from my PC to the drone. The behavior is the same here as well. Takeoff and landing work from the keyboard the piloting commands (move left right …) not.

I would be very grateful for an answer, because I wanted to use this program to carry out tests for further implementations with piloting commands.
