The only supported versions of Python are 3.11.X.
On Windows, to install the USB driver, download the USB driver from here. Plug in the radio and run the program. Select the correct device in the dropdown and set libusbK as the target driver, and install. To access the drone while plugged in with USB, repeat the same procedure, except plug in the drone instead of the radio.
After setting up your drones, make sure every drone you wish to use in a swarm is on a different address. It may help to also have the drones on separate channels. This can be changed by plugging in the drone with USB,
- Using a supported python version: Run
python -m venv .venvat the root of this repository. On some windows versions, this may be achieved by runningpy -3.11 -m venv .venv. - Activate the virtual environment by sourcing the appropriate script in
.venv/binon POSIX systems, or running the appropriate script in.venv\Scriptson Windows. See python documentation of virtual environments for more details. - Verify your python version is 3.11.X by running
python --version. If it is not, rundeactivate, delete the.venvfolder and restart. - Run
python -m pip install -r requirements.txtto install python dependencies. - Run any script using
python <script>while the virtual environment is activated. - You can deactivate the virtual environment early by running
deactivateat any time. - On subsequent sessions, remember to reactivate your virtual environment before running scripts.
- In order to use DroneControlLib in a separate file, add
from DroneControlLib import *to your file and make sure DroneControlLib.py is in the same directory as your new file.
