Dronekit: Change alt in GUIDED mode

ChangeAlt.py

#
# This example shows how to use DroneKit-Python to change the vehicles altitude
#Usage: api start ChangeAlt.py

from pymavlink import mavutil
 
# First get an instance of the API endpoint
api = local_connect()
# Get the connected vehicle (currently only one vehicle can be returned).
v = api.get_vehicles()[0]
 

if(v.mode.name == 'GUIDED' and v.armed == True):
	loc = v.location #get current location
	loc.alt = loc.alt + 10 #add 10 meters
	v.commands.goto(loc) # send command
	v.flush() #make sure it gets sent
else:
	print "Not armed or in GUIDED mode"
