Welcome to fish hawk’s documentation!¶
Fish hawk is a simple interface for working with the pixhawk auto-pilot module. It is not designed to offer the full capability of mavros, which is used on the SDCR Zoidberg submarine robot. However, it does not require ROS, which has proven to be a difficult install.
The primary interface to the pixhawk is the python package pymavlink, which has python2 and provisional python3 support. This package seems to be the most widely used python MAV interface, though it’s documentation is spare at times. Most of the code used in this package is found in a series of code snippits written by ardusub. As such, it may be specific to the ardusub firmware on the pixhawk, but quite how is unclear.
