I have a 3DR Solo that I want to fly indoors as part of a research project. It is a stock Solo, so I believe it runs a forked ArduCopter 3.3. I would like to disable GPS and be able to command this from an off-board computer. The off-board computer will be tracking the Solo, so as the Solo drifts around, it can send commands to correct for this.
Right now, I just want to test this out on the SITL. It seems like putting the copter in STABILIZE mode and then repeatedly sending MANUAL_SETPOINT, MANUAL_CONTROL, or SET_ACTUATOR_CONTROL_TARGET MAVLink messages would be the right approach. Does that make sense? Will those commands work? Is there a better or standard approach for this?
(I have been trying to do just that with dronekit-python sending the messages to SITL, but it doesn't seem to work. I know it could be dronekit too, but I wanted to check with the ArduCopter community that my approach makes sense first.)
