Planning automated missions using python

Posted by unnamed idea on January 21, 2016 at 12:21pm

Hello, I need a mission such that given coordinates, drone should vertically go up by 3 meters and horizontally moves 3 meter towards given direction at a time and stops at every 3 meters (and repeats the process).

Is there an api (or anything) that I could prepare automated missions for pixhawk? There are tools for circle, grid (mapping missions), text, spline etc but how could I create my own automatic waypoints?

Edit: I am NOT looking for solutions using companion computer or python running in GCS sending guided mode coordinates etc. All I need is creating a mission (mission planner - like), uploading it to pixhawk, and then using AUTO mode to execute that mission.

    nevermind, I figured out typical mission is saved in txt format and like that:

    3702165963?profile=originalwhich can be created easily. In following days I will add python code for others who wish to create custom automated missions
