Hi,

While using Mission Planner 1.2.97 to run a python script on an Ardupilot 2.6, I am having trouble running the python script. Running any script causes Mission Planner to become unresponsive. I have the Mission planner console open, which still keeps running when Mission Planner is not responding. It does not seem to matter what script is run, the outcome is the same. Could this be a Mavlink issue?

Thanks for any help you can give.

EDIT: I realised I haven't given you guys much to go on, below is the exact simple script I'm trying to run, have no previous programming experience so if I am doing something fundamentally wrong it would be great to know. Is there anywhere in particular i have to save the notepad file to (saved as Buggy.py at the moment). I just press select script, find Buggy.py and then if i press 'Edit Script' I am able to edit it in notepad, does not work if set to open with ironpython/python, but if i try to 'Run Script', it does not respond, program effectively crashes.
