Geofence setting in Python?

[Peter Morris]

Can anyone point me to some Python code on sending geofences to a Pixhawk?  I cannot find simple examples in Dronekit or elsewhere,  and have spend a long time trying to implement MAVLINK_MSG_ID_FENCE_POINT etc .    I can happily set waypoints directly via Mavlink or through Ironpython to Missionplanner, but the fence stuff has me stumped.

   

cheers

Hi Pete,

this may help:

This MAVProxy/SITL tutorial shows what parameters you need to set for the copter geofence: http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/copter-sitl-mavproxy-tutorial/#setting_a_geofence

If you want to do this yourself programmatically you could do this in DroneKit by setting the same parameters (using Vehicle.parameters). I recommend you confirm that the section works for you by following the tutorial first.
