Cannot arm or control a navigator-based ROV via pymavlink

[EliotBR (Eliot)]

Hi @adnan, welcome to the forum!

Thanks for sharing what you’ve tried so far, and how it’s not working as expected.

Can you try specifically waiting for a vehicle heartbeat?

Waiting for a generic one means it’s possible to connect to some other component (e.g. the BlueOS camera manager), which could explain why your vehicle commands aren’t working properly.

# I did not use this thread initially, 
# GPT suggested that continuous heartbeat sending is necessary. 
# So I gave it a try. But no luck!
threading.Thread(target=send_heartbeat, daemon=True).start()

@EliotBR

I would note that while having the heartbeat in a separate thread can definitely be convenient, it’s not recommended as the default approach in the mavlink docs …
