How to run a python script when MAVProxy starts up?

Posted by Sj on September 19, 2015 at 11:04pm

I want my script to run right after MAVProxy starts up and is done with it's checks.

I try to add it to mavinit.scr but it just tries to execute it before it runs all its initial checks leading to errors.

What is the alternative? I am running MAVProxy on a Raspberry pi connected to the PX4

    Hi Sj,

    To run arbitrary python at startup the simplest method would be to write a new MAVProxy module, and load that module from the command line or from mavinit.scr.

    There are lots of small modules to serve as examples in the modules/ directory in the MAVProxy sources.

    Cheers, Tridge

      Thank you Andrew for your help! Will check it out!

      Quick query however - so to run custom modules as part of mavinit.scr, is there a predefined command structure? Apart from the "module load name"? (Just to understand this better).

      Thanks again!
