Dronekit Plane Simulation can not be started

[oskar07]

Hello everyone, I was trying to test dronekit examples on ubuntu 16.04 I runned the example codes succesfully for the copter vehicle by using dronekit sitl. When I moved into trying same example codes on plane vehicle I couldnt succed to run sitl. I am running on first terminal:
dronekit-sitl plane
on the second terminal:
mavproxy.py --master tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 --out 127.0.0:14550 --out 127.0.0.1:14551
and I am getting :
Connect tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 source_system=255
Log Directory:
Telemetry log: mav.tlog
Waiting for heartbeat from tcp:127.0.0.1:5760

Thank you for your reply @pappuyadav . The video you shared is about drones, and I can succesfully made it work. The problem that I am getting is for planes.

@oskar07 Any update?

I am also trying to get the plane simulation working. The drone sims work as expected but whenever I try and connect to the plane sitl I get:
WARNING:dronekit:Link timeout, no heartbeat in last 5 seconds

Hello,
I am also facing the same issue with planes. Copter runs fine for me. Did you find a solution for planes? @oskar07 @RotorBoy2020.

Hello,

I have the same "blocking" issue:
"WARNING:dronekit:Link timeout, no heartbeat in last 5 seconds"

Code on simulator (drone) side:

import dronekit_sitl
print("Starting simulator...")
simulator = dronekit_sitl.start_default()

Code on station side:

import dronekit
print("Connecting to the drone...")
drone = dronekit.connect(input("Port ? "), wait_ready=True, baud=57600)

If I remember well, it was working correctly with Python 3.9, but now fails with 3.10.

Thanks,
Best regards,
Pascal.

You are right, there is a bug for plane setup in dronekit-sitl. If I set "drone" I can connect dronekit-sitl via ardupilot mission planner successfully, but if I choose "plane" it is not working.

I am trying to solve the problem during last 2 days. Please inform me if anyone manage to solve it, thanks...

Haklısınız, dronekit-sitl'de uçak kurulumuyla ilgili bir bug var. "Drone" ayarlarsam dronekit-sitl'i ardupilot görev planlayıcısı aracılığıyla başarıyla bağlayabilirim, ancak "plane" seçersem çalışmıyor.

Son 2 gündür sorunu çözmeye çalışıyorum. Çözebilen varsa lütfen bilgilendirsin teşekkürler...

Hello. Did you solve the plane problem?

I am having the same problem. Did anyone find a solution?

Hello All,
For issue like "WARNING:dronekit:Link timeout, no heartbeat in last 5 seconds", I would recommend to manually set the "Guided" mode from Mission Planner. Please see if that helps.
Thanks.

Hello,

Do you have any idea when a new version (taking into account that "blocking" issue with Python 3.10 [and now certainly Python 3.11 too]) will be released, please ?

Thanks.
