Users can drag and drop blocks onto the canvas to command their drone to follow a basic flight plan. Coupled with the DroneBlocks curriculum, educators can teach students about all aspects of STEM. For example, lesson plan #2 is a 'Dronie' mission that teaches students about geometry and determining the best angle to tilt the camera for the.
The SITL (Software In The Loop)simulator allows you to create and test DroneKit-Python apps without a real vehicle (and from the comfort ofyour own developer desktop!).
SITL can run natively on Linux (x86 architecture only), Mac and Windows, or within a virtual machine. It can beinstalled on the same computer as DroneKit, or on another computer on the same network.
Lonesome Drone Mac Os Catalina
- The current release of the Vodafone Mobile Broadband for Mac app, which you can download from this website, supports the following: OS X 10.10 Yosemite OS X 10.11 El Capitan macOS 10.12 Sierra macOS 10.13 High Sierra. The following Vodafone Mobile Broadband USB Sticks are supported on OS X: K4201 K4201-Z K4203. K4203-Z K4305 K4606.
- Drone is a fully-featured tool expressly designed to create rich and detailed sonic environments and sound effects with endless movement and variety. At a high-level Drone is a multilayer sample/granular synth with unison, feedback loop, harmonic modulator, manual and automated parameter animation, professional-quality bus.
The sections below explain how to install and run SITL, and how to connect to DroneKit-Python and GroundStations at the same time.
DroneKit-SITL¶
DroneKit-SITL is the simplest, fastest and easiest way to run SITL on Windows, Linux (x86 architecture only), or Mac OS X.It is installed from Python's pip tool on all platforms, and works by downloading and running pre-builtvehicle binaries that are appropriate for the host operating system.
This section provides an overview of how to install and use DroneKit-SITL. For more information, seethe project on Github.
Note
DroneKit-SITL is still relatively experimental and there are only a few pre-built vehicles(some of which are quite old and/or unstable).
The binaries are built and tested on Windows 10, Ubuntu Linux, and Mac OS X'El Capitan'. Binaries are only available for x86 architectures. ARM builds(e.g. for RPi) are not supported.
Please report any issues on Github here.
Installation¶
The tool is installed (or updated) on all platforms using the command:
Running SITL¶
To run the latest version of Copter for which we have binaries (downloading the binaries if needed), you can simply call:
SITL will then start and wait for TCP connections on 127.0.0.1:5760
.
You can specify a particular vehicle and version, and also parameters like the home location,the vehicle model type (e.g. 'quad'), etc. For example:
There are a number of other useful arguments:
Note
You can also use dronekit-sitl to start a SITL executable that you have built locally from source.To do this, put the file path of the target executable in the SITL_BINARY environment variable,or as the first argument when calling the tool.
Connecting to DroneKit-SITL¶
DroneKit-SITL waits for TCP connections on 127.0.0.1:5760
. DroneKit-Python scripts running on the samecomputer can connect to the simulation using the connection string as shown:
After something connects to port 5760
, SITL will then wait for additional connections on port 5763
(and subsequently 5766
, 5769
etc.)
Note
While you can connect to these additional ports, some users have reported problems whenviewing the running examples with Mission Planner. If you need to connect a ground stationand DroneKit at the same time we recommend you use MAVProxy (see Connecting an additional Ground Station).
DroneKit-SITL Python API¶
DroneKit-SITL exposes a Python API, which you can use to start and control simulation from within your scripts. This is particularly useful for test code and examples.
Building SITL from source¶
You can natively build SITL from source on Linux, Windows and Mac OS X,or from within a Vagrant Linux virtual environment.
Building from source is useful if you want to need to test the latest changes (or any usea version for which DroneKit-SITL does not have pre-built binaries).It can also be useful if you have problems getting DroneKit-SITL to work.
SITL built from source has a few differences from DroneKit-SITL:
- MAVProxy is included and started by default. You can use MAVProxy terminal to control the autopilot.
- You connect to SITL via UDP on
127.0.0.1:14550
. You can use MAVProxy'soutputadd
command to add additional ports if needed. - You may need to disable arming checks and load autotest parameters to run examples.
- It is easier to add a virtual rangefinder and add a virtual gimbal for testing.
The following topics from the ArduPilot wiki explain how to set up Native SITL builds:
Connecting an additional Ground Station¶
You can connect a ground station to an unused port to which messages are being forwarded.
The most reliable way to add new ports is to use MAVProxy:
If you're using SITL built from source you will already have MAVProxy running.You can add new ports in the MAVProxy console using
outputadd
:If you're using Dronekit-SITL you can:
Install MAVProxyfor your system.
In a second terminal spawn an instance of MAVProxy to forward messages fromTCP
127.0.0.1:5760
to other UDP ports like127.0.0.1:14550
and127.0.0.1:14551
:
Once you have available ports you can connect to a ground station using one UDP address, and DroneKit-Python using the other.
For example, first connect the script:
Then connect Mission Planner to the second UDP port:
Ensure the selection list at the top right of the Mission Planner screen says UDP and then select the Connect button next to it.When prompted, enter the port number (in this case 14552).
Mission Planner: Listen Port Dialog
After connecting, vehicle parameters will be loaded into Mission Planner and the vehicle is displayed on the map.
Tip
If you're using the DroneKit-SITL Python API then you will instead have toconnect to SITLs TCP port (as there is no way to set up MAVProxy in this case).So if DroneKit is connecting to TCP port 5760, you would connect your GCS to 5763.
Note that a few examples may not behave perfectly using this approach. If you need toobserve them in a GCS you should run SITL externally and use MAVProxy to connect to it.

Intune does not currently support managing UWF enabled devices. See Unified Write Filter (UWF) feature for more information.
Supported Samsung Knox Standard devices
To avoid Knox activation errors that prevent MDM enrollment, the Company Portal app only attempts Samsung Knox activation during MDM enrollment if the device appears in the list of supported Knox devices. Devices that don't support Samsung Knox activation enroll as standard Android devices. A Samsung device might have some model numbers that support Knox, while others don't. Verify Knox compatibility with your device reseller before you buy and deploy Samsung devices.
Note
Enrolling Samsung Knox devices may require you to enable access to Samsung servers.
