I suggest starting with MAVProxy, and taking a look at the [MANUAL\_CONTROL](http://mavlink.org/messages/common#MANUAL_CONTROL) message which is used to convey the joystick inputs normally, you can send your own MANUAL\_CONTROL messages using MAVProxy.

There is also a built-in mavproxy module called ‘rc’ which sends the RC\_CHANNELS\_OVERRIDE message that will let you move the vehicle, but does not allow you to use the buttons which is how everything else (camera tilt, lights) is controlled.

You can use MAVProxy on your surface computer and/or use mavproxy running on the Pi. MAVProxy is run at boot on the Pi, so to get to the MAVProxy console enter `screen -r mavproxy` in terminal on the Pi.
