How to implement mission load through pymavlink

General Discussion
#1

I want to implement mission load through pymavlink and let the drone take off normally according to the site. This is my code but I did not succeed in getting the load task successful，I got stuck the first time in the for loop, and the loop did not continue。

This is output of the console
############
Heartbeat from system (system 1 component 1)
10
MISSION_REQUEST {target_system : 255, target_component : 0, seq : 0}
Sending waypoint 0
############

This is my code:
master = mavutil.mavlink_connection(‘udp:0.0.0.0:14550’)
master.wait_heartbeat()
print(“Heartbeat from system (system %u component %u)” % (master.target_system, master.target_system))

def load_mission_txt():
loader = mavwp.MAVWPLoader()
loader_count = loader.load("./mission.txt") # load mission
print(loader_count) # count waypoints of mission.txt
master.waypoint_count_send(loader_count) # waypoint count send

try:
    for i in range(loader_count):  # looping to send each waypoint information
        msg = master.recv_match(type=['MISSION_REQUEST'], blocking=True)
        print(msg)
        master.mav.send(loader.wp(msg.seq))
        print('Sending waypoint {0}'.format(msg.seq))
        mission_ack_msg = master.recv_match(type=['MISSION_ACK'], blocking=True)
except TimeoutError:
    print('upload mission timeout')
else:
    print("upload mission successful")

I am trying to do a similar thing, I believe ‘MISSION_REQUEST’ is deprecated in favor of ‘MISSION_REQUEST_INT’ although we still have the same issue. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Did you managed to do it?

I never tried this. You could look at how MAVProxy implements it.
The docs seem to be pretty good, too.
