class payloadcomputerdroneprojekt.communications.Communications(address: str, config: Dict[str, Any] | None = None)[source]#

Bases: object

Handles communication with the drone, including connection, arming, movement, telemetry, and image transfer.

This class abstracts the MAVSDK API and provides high-level methods for controlling and monitoring the drone, as well as sending data to a ground station.

async await_arm(**kwargs)#

async await_disarm(**kwargs)#

async check_health() → bool[source]#

Check if the drone’s global position is OK (GPS ready).

Returns:: True if global position is OK, False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

async connect() → bool[source]#

Establish a connection to the drone and set telemetry data rates.

Returns:: True if connection is established, False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

This method initializes the MAVSDK System, connects to the specified address, and waits until the connection is confirmed. It also sets telemetry data rates.

async get_position_lat_lon_alt() → List[float][source]#

Get the drone’s global position and attitude.

Returns:: [latitude_deg, longitude_deg, relative_altitude_m, roll, pitch, yaw]
Return type:: list[float]

If GPS is not ready, returns zeros.

async get_position_xyz() → List[float][source]#

Get the drone’s local position and attitude.

Returns:: [x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw] in meters and degrees.
Return type:: list[float]

If GPS is not ready, returns zeros.

async get_relative_height() → float[source]#

Get the drone’s height above the ground.

Returns:: Relative altitude in meters.
Return type:: float

async is_flying() → bool[source]#

Check if the drone is currently flying (in air).

Returns:: True if the drone is in air, False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

async land(**kwargs)#

async landed() → bool[source]#

Check if the drone is currently flying (in air).

Returns:: True if the drone is in air, False otherwise.
Return type:: bool

async mov_by_vel(**kwargs)#

async mov_by_xy(**kwargs)#

async mov_by_xyz(**kwargs)#

async mov_by_xyz_old(**kwargs)#

async mov_to_lat_lon_alt(**kwargs)#

async mov_to_xyz(**kwargs)#

async mov_with_vel(**kwargs)#

async send_status(status: str) → None[source]#

Send a status text message to the ground station.

Parameters:: status (str) – Status message to send.

This method uses the MAVSDK server utility to send a status text.

async set_data_rates() → None[source]#

Set telemetry data rates for attitude, position, and in-air status.

This method configures the frequency at which telemetry data is received.

async start(**kwargs)#

async wait_for_health() → None[source]#

Wait until both the home position and global position are OK.

This method blocks until the drone’s telemetry reports both positions as ready.
