This will show how you can use mavproxy with any mavlink command.

Getting started with MAVproxy

E.g: #start connection conn = mavutil.mavlink_connection(args*) #send SET_ATTITUDE_TARGET self.conn.mav.set_attitude_target_send(args*) #send SET_POSITION_TARGET_LOCAL_NED self.conn.mav.set_positio…

If you don’t know how to use it, check this python script.
