Raspberry Pi, Pixhawk Hexacopter and DroneKit Pre-Field Bench Test

Getting close to testing the takeoff and land DroneKit python script running on Raspberry Pi. Here it is for reference:

Unfortunately it was rainy today but I'll be testing the script this week in the field and share my results. So far I'm very impressed with DroneKit and the flexibility it provides.

The only problem I've run into is covered in the video where Telemetry 1 and Telemetry 2 seem to interfere with each other. Or I should say it appears to cause problems when Tower is connected to Telemetry 1 and Pi with DroneKit is running on Telemetry 2.

I think I can work around that for now and will see what I can find out.

Thanks for following along.
