simple-drone-control 0.2.0

Simple drone control simulation that serves as API for more complex programs.

Simple Drone Control (SDC)

Simple drone control simulation that serves as API for more complex programs.

Motivation

This package has been developed with the sole purpose of serving as educational tool. It does not provide with real dynamic simulation models for drones nor tracks. However, it can be used to develop some initial ideas for autonomous drone flight algorithms, without having to deal with heavy constraints such as air drag, gravity, etc.

Installation

This package has been released through PyPI and thus, can be installed using Python's pip module:

python -m pip install --upgrade simple-drone-control

Alternatively, it is also possible to clone this repository and use the package using pip and/or build.

Usage

import sdc  # Imports the whole package.

from sdc.core.vector import Vector3D, Rotator3D, distance3D  # Imports core functionality classes and functions.
from sdc.api.simulation import SimulationAPI  # Imports API simulation class.
from sdc.environment.reader import TrackSequenceReader  # Imports a reader class for track databases.

Note that the package is installed as simple-drone-control, but imported as sdc. Attempting to import it using the installation name will result in an error.

This package has not been developed with expansion expectations, yet external feedback is always welcome, so feel free to drop your suggestions or error reports on the issues section.
