Programming Library - FUN - and - a - mental

This video explains Drone Programming Libraries that can be used as companion computer.

1. MAVROS : Latest library that can be use to connect between more sensors

2. Pymavlink : More fundamental programming to connect with mavlink.

3. Dronekit : Much simpler programming

4. MAVSDK : Suitable for PX4 and not ardupilot

This video will show the steps to Install mission planner in ubuntu.

once everything installed, open new terminal, type in mono MissionPlanner.exe to launch Mission Planner. Mission Planner should open in few seconds, select UDP and connect to 14550.
