No GUIDED mode

[EstebanGameDevelopment]

Hello,

I'm trying to develop with Python with DroneKit. The examples that I work with always ask to set up the mode to GUIDED, but with Intel Areo is nowhere to be seen. Am I missing any configuration in order for this option to appear or it's no longer an available mode?

MavLink: Image where I show how there is no GUIDED mode available

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

In ardupilot it's called guided mode. In px4 it's offboard

Thanks for the reply. I seem to be able to change the mode with DroneKit by:

from dronekit import connect, VehicleMode, LocationGlobalRelative
import time
from pymavlink import mavutil
vehicle = connect('tcp:127.0.0.1:5760', wait_ready=False)
vehicle.mode = VehicleMode("OFFBOARD")

Next, I'm able to arm the drone:

vehicle.armed = True

But when I send the command:

vehicle.simple_takeoff(aTargetAltitude)

it's ignored and I don't know why.

Also another thing that worries me even more is that when I try to use MAVProxy commands in order to perform operations to take off in OFFBOARD mode there is no way that the drone accepts the command:

MAVProxy try to change the mode to OFFBOARD does not work

Does anyone have made MAVProxy commands to change mode to OFFBOARD?

arm throttle works but that is useless because I need change the mode.

Could be possible that any of you could share a python DroneKit script that really works on Intel Aero? So far I have not been successful to fully perform any operation aside arming the drone.
