ArduPilot for Fixed-Wing about Guided mode #11756

Closed zhanghouxin07 closed 3 years ago

zhanghouxin07 commented 5 years ago

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie about ardupilot. I want to use an external computer（tx2 or intel nuc） to control fixed-wing flight (real-time sending of waypoints, or control gestures) through the mavros protocol. I have taken a cursory look at the ardupilot user manual. I discover the guide mode.

so, the GUIDE mode can be utilize for controlling fixed-wing flight in real-time? For instance, after the fixed-wing takes off by RC, the ardupilot enter the GUIDE mode and receive the waypoints(or other cmds) from external computer(tx2). and then the fw filght mode can be switch to RC again.

thanks a lot, everyone.

Does ardupoilt also have offboard mode?

auturgy commented 5 years ago

No. Guided mode (ArduPilot) and offboard mode (px4) are equivalent in many ways - such as interfacing with a companion computer via an api (DroneKit, mavros, etc). Offboard mode is not available for fixed wing though, whilst Guided mode is. Support questions are best asked on discuss.ardupilot.org

Regards,

James

I want to confirm, that is, ardupilot can realize real-time control of fixed-wing flight with an external computer in Guide Mode?
