Startup Options

  1. --master:X specifies connection address to your vehicle. It could be one of the followings:
    1. /dev/ttyUSBX for Linux and COMX for Windows serial connections.
    2. tcp:IP:PORT for local TCP connections.
    3. udp:IP:PORT or just IP:PORT for local UDP connections.
    4. tcpout:IP:PORT for remote TCP connections.
    5. udpout:IP:PORT for remote UDP connections.
    6. Multiple master connection can be defined to the same vehicle for redundant data links.
  2. If master is a serial connection, baud rate can be specified as:
    1. --baudrate=X or
    2. --master=Y,X where X is the baud rate.
  3. --console opens the MAVProxy ground control station Console.
  4. --map opens the interactive map interface.
  5. --quadcopter is used for quadcopter controls.
  6. --out is used to forward the MAVLink packets to a remote device (serial, USB or network address/port). Useful if using multiple ground station computers or relaying the stream through an intermediate node.
    1. /dev/ttyUSBX for Linux and COMX for Windows serial connections.
    2. tcp:IP:PORT for local TCP connections.
    3. udp:IP:PORT or just IP:PORT for local UDP connections.
    4. tcpout:IP:PORT for remote TCP connections.
    5. udpout:IP:PORT for remote UDP connections.
    6. Multiple stream outputs can be defined.
  7. --sitl is used to host and port to send simulated RC input for the Software in the loop (SITL) simulator.
    1. Usually --sitl=127.0.0.1:5501.
  8. --streamrate is used to configure the stream rate of the connection.
  9. --source-system defines system ID of this GCS.
  10. --source-component defines component ID of this GCS.
  11. --target-system defines target master system ID.
  12. --target-component defines target master component ID.
  13. --logfile defines the master logfile name.
  14. --append-log used to append new logs to the older one.
  15. --nodtr disables DTR drop on close.
  16. --show-errors used to show MAVLink error messages.
  17. --speech enables text to speech.
  18. --aircraft name of the aircraft being flown. If used, logfiles will be stored in /Logs/AircraftName/Date/flightNumber/flight.tlog.
  19. --cmd initial commands to run in MAVProxy and delimited by ;.
  20. --load-module loads a desired MAVProxy module on startup.
  21. --mavversion specifies the MAVLink version.
  22. --auto-protocol used to auto detect MAVLink protocol version.
  23. --continue continue to the logs.
  24. --nowait used for not waiting a heartbeat message at startup.
  25. --dialect used to specify MAVLink dialect. Uses the APM dialect by default.
  26. --rtscts used for RTS/CTS hardware flow control of master connection.
  27. --mission used to give the current mission a name. If used, the flight log will be stored as /Logs/aircraftname/missionname rather than the default /Logs/aircraftname/currentdatetime.
  28. --daemon used to start MAVProxy in daemon mode (as a background process). No interactive shell will be started.
  29. --state-basedir defines the base directory that logs will be stored, if it is not the current directory.
  30. --version show current MAVProxy version.
  31. --moddebug is debugging messages level. Default is 0 (no debug output). A value of 3 is useful for debugging crashes or errors in MAVProxy and its modules.
  32. --default-modules is a comma separated list of the modules to load on startup by default.
  33. --non-interactive is used for not starting interactive shell.
  34. --force-connected is used for using master even if initial connection fails.
