We're beginning a project that will require offboard software control of a Pixhawk-equipped quad (we're using an Iris+). We'll have to send pitch, roll, thrust and yaw values rather than waypoints. We plan to use pymavlink and Dronekit. In pymavlink I see a couple of commands that seem like they would do the job: rc_channels_override and manual_control_send. Since both exist, I'm sure that they serve somewhat different purposes. Is one better suited than the other for what we need to do? Or perhaps there's another command I haven't yet discovered that's better than either of these? Thanks for any insights and/or tips.
