Ardupilot Software-in-the-loop (SITL) Tutorial - Python 3
This video guides you through installation of Ardupilot SITL, so you can test your Python (dronekit) scripts before testing it on your drone.
The commands that I've used are:
1) dronekit-sitl copter-3.3 --home=24.890016,67.090451,0.0 -UI
[That's the GPS location of NUST Karachi - my university]
2) mavproxy.py --master tcp:127.0.0.1:5760 --out=udp:192.168.10.3:14550 --out=udp:192.168.10.8:14550
[192.168.10.3 is the local address of my PC, and 192.168.10.8 is the local address of my phone, whereas 127.0.0.1 is the loopback address. Change this according to your devices]
3)python quad_control.py --connect udp:192.168.10.3:14550
[Since 192.168.10.3 is my PC, I run python script on my PC, which is located on my desktop]

Additional Information:
There is no restriction on number of output device. You can view the same telemetry data on your friends PC, your tablet , or any other device as long as they have application that can understand Mavlink protocol and are connected to the same network.

Disclaimer:
The video is meant for educational purpose only. Initially Python-3 had no support for the libraries that are being used in the code. The simulator may act strange and show random errors due to certain parameter mismatch.
