When I run my Python code, I return an output as a .waypoints file and I want to automatically transfer this route to mission planner after the code runs. How can I do this?

I thought about sending it via pymavlink , but I'm not sure if it's correct and how to do it.

• python
• mavlink
• mission-planner

• I don't know pymavlink but if it works for you then use it - don't bother if it correct. – furas Commented Mar 6 at 7:40

Mission planner expects missions in a certain format. Does your waypoints file follow the same format? A small mission might look like:

QGC WPL 110
0   1   0   16  0   0   0   0   -22.0945473 47.4938965  193.010000  1
1   0   3   22  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  100.000000  1
2   0   3   16  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  -21.41599770    47.62435910 100.000000  1
3   0   3   16  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  -21.57571890    48.15032960 100.000000  1
4   0   3   16  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  -22.29417910    47.88940430 100.000000  1
5   0   3   16  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  0.00000000  -22.16451430    47.46231080 100.000000  1

You can/should double check by uploading with your custom GCS, and downloading the mission from the drone using mission planner. Then compare this mission to your waypoint file.
