I am a master student with background in control theory. In my project I try to implement a nonlinear controller for a custom built Hexacopter.
The controller was simulated in Matlab Simulink and it can produce control in 2 forms:
u = [u1,u2,

I accidentally bought the wrong propellers(Link#1) for my quadrotor motor(Link#2), and since I live outside the US (and other countries where you can easily return items), it is really difficult for me to return them. I need to know if

I am trying to set the mode to AUTO from Mavproxy programmatically. I have referred the previous posts and tried the following :
1. obj.set_mode_auto()
2.obj.set_mode_encode(1,1,3)
3.obj.set_mode(AUTO)
None of the above commands set the mode to AUT

Thank you very much in advance,
