Feat: Request for controlling the PWM values of all motors for autonoumous tracking about ardupilot HOT 6 CLOSED

Don't trust AI and learn the code by yourself. We can already do this

from ardupilot.

If you are manually controlling all PWM outputs then why do you need copter at all?

I agree with the closing of this feature request.

I need support from the pymavlink or from API side, so onboarding processor will control all PWM values @lthall @khancyr with respect to the detected object.

I think what @sairaghavamunagala2001 is trying to do is train an AI to fly a multicopter directly without going through AP's estimators and controllers. I've heard this idea from a Japan based AI researcher as well a few years ago so I think it is a reasonable thing to try and support.

I think much like someone extending AP's estimators or controllers they don't want to take over all control immediately and they also want to be sure to have a fall back to regular operation when things go wrong.

Regardless of whether AI is used or not, I think the request is for a PWM pass-through from an external companion computer. We already support this in Lua.

@sairaghavamunagala2001 you've seen our developer focused MAVLink interface wiki page? Also feel free to ping me in AP's discord perhaps within the "ai" channel. Make sure to put "@rmackay9" in your post so I don't miss it.

okay sure, thanks for the input @rmackay9 , is there any command available in python to control because i need to train the drone to reach it's max speed upto 200kmph.

@sairaghavamunagala2001,

The Copter controls are here on the wiki and you should be able to use pymavlink from within Python.
