# MAVProxy modules #
|
|
|
|
This folder contains modules for MAVProxy specifically for ArduPilot. Add the
|
|
path to this folder to your `PYTHONPATH` in order to use it.
|
|
|
|
# Modules #
|
|
|
|
## `sitl_calibration` ##
|
|
This module interfaces with the `calibration` model of SITL. It provides
|
|
commands to actuate on the vehicle's rotation to simulate a calibration
|
|
process.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to pass `--model calibration` to the SITL binary in order to be able
|
|
use this module's commands. You can also use
|
|
`[sim_vehicle.py](../autotest/sim_vehicle.py)` with `--frame calibration`.
|
|
|
|
### Accelerometer Calibration ###
|
|
The command `sitl_accelcal` listens to the accelerometer calibration status
|
|
texts and set the vehicle in the desired attitude. Example:
|
|
```
|
|
accelcal
|
|
sitl_accelcal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Compass Calibration ###
|
|
The command `sitl_magcal` applies angular velocity on the vehicle in order to
|
|
get the compasses calibrated. Example:
|
|
```
|
|
magcal start
|
|
sitl_magcal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Other commands ###
|
|
There are other commands you can use with this module:
|
|
- `sitl_attitude`: set vehicle at a desired attitude
|
|
- `sitl_angvel`: apply angular velocity on the vehicle
|
|
- `sitl_stop`: stop any of this module's currently active command
|
|
|
|
## `magcal_graph` ##
|
|
This module shows the geodesic sections hit by the samples collected during
|
|
compass calibration, and also some status data. The objective of this module is
|
|
to provide a reference on how to interpret the field `completion_mask` from the
|
|
`MAG_CAL_PROGRESS` mavlink message. That information can be used in order to
|
|
guide the vehicle user during calibration.
|
|
|
|
The plot shown by this module isn't very helpful to the end user, but it might
|
|
help developers during development of internal calibration support in ground
|
|
control stations.
|
|
|
|
The only command provided by this module is `magcal_graph`, which will open the
|
|
graphical user interface.
