MavSDK server is connected to drone but not listening to port

[Shkryob]

I am trying to get telemetry from my drone connected to Windows PC.

I have started MavSDK server and it is connected to drone. I can see warning messages from drone:

PS C:\Projects> .\mavsdk_server_win32.exe -p 50051 serial:///COM6
[11:45:51|Info ] MAVSDK version: v2.12.2 (D:\a\MAVSDK\MAVSDK\src\mavsdk\core\mavsdk_impl.cpp:26)

[11:47:41|Debug] MAVLink: notice: THROTTLE IS NOT LOW

But I can't connect python script to server:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import asyncio
from mavsdk import System


async def run():
    # Init the drone
    drone = System(mavsdk_server_address='127.0.0.1', port=50051)
    print('Drone connection start')
    await drone.connect()

    # Start the tasks
    print('Tasks start')
    asyncio.ensure_future(print_battery(drone))
    asyncio.ensure_future(print_gps_info(drone))
    asyncio.ensure_future(print_in_air(drone))
    asyncio.ensure_future(print_position(drone))

Prints out:

PS C:\Projects\sauron-eye> & C:/Python311/python.exe c:/Projects/sauron-eye/main.py
Drone connection start

NetCat doesn't see port open either:

PS C:\Windows\system32> nmap localhost -p 50051

I don't know. Does maybe the mavsdk_server not have "network" access. Sometimes you have to like enable it in the firewall. I have seen this "access to internet" popup come up on Windows when you lauch it, in certain configurations.

@julianoes is it ok that it says Component **Unsupported** component (250) added. ?

[julianoes]

Oh, that might explain it. Why is the compid 250? It's supposed to be 1 for an autopilot.
