Improve dronekit connection

Question

fnoop opened this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

Connection using dronekit to an actual flight controller takes a long time (>15secs) as it waits for parameter download etc. Also prints out status messages instead of to logs. Improve connection by specifying limited set of parameters to wait for, capture status messages etc.

Also won't connect through mavlink-router using udp:

This looks to be related, performance wise:

Suspect dronekit takes a lot of cpu time in the background, which has also affected vision_landing.

Going to move to ROS, dronekit python wrapper (vision_landing) OK as it is.
