Getting Started

Planekit helps you create powerful apps for fixed-wing UAVs. These apps run on a UAV’s Companion Computer, and augment the autopilot by performing tasks that are both computationally intensive and require a low-latency link.

This documentation provides everything you need to get started with Planekit, including an overview of the API, quick start, guide material, a number of demos and examples, and API Reference.

Install Planekit

pip install planekit

Start simulation anywhere or connect UAV:

Plankit does not include any built-in simulation. Therefore, you must connect the planekit still or an arduplane installed UAV.

A simple example of starting a still with Mission planar

Planekit supports other alternatives. (Mavproxy etc.)

First connection

You can see the first connection example below.

import time

import planekit

vehicle = planekit.Connection("tcp:127.0.0.1:5762")
vehicle.wait_heartbeat()
print("connection is successful")
