I'm trying to build my first dronekit python program, and I'm doing some tests with some examples but I couldn't connect to my UAV(Iris+). I plugged the usb radio(3DR 915 MHz) and I put vehicle = connect('/dev/ttyUSB0', wait_ready=True). Actually I have no idea which string I should put in. Thanks in advance guys, I need some help!
My code:
print "Start simulator (SITL)"
from dronekit_sitl import SITL
sitl = SITL()
sitl.download('copter', '3.3', verbose=True)
sitl_args = ['-I0', '--model', 'quad', '--home=-35.363261,149.165230,584,353']
sitl.launch(sitl_args, await_ready=True, restart=True)
# Import DroneKit-Python
from dronekit import connect, VehicleMode
import time
# Connect to the Vehicle.
print "Connecting to vehicle on: '/dev/ttyUSB0'"
vehicle = connect('/dev/ttyUSB0', wait_ready=True)
# Get some vehicle attributes (state)
print "Get some vehicle attribute values:"
print " GPS: %s" % vehicle.gps_0
print " Battery: %s" % vehicle.battery
print " Last Heartbeat: %s" % vehicle.last_heartbeat
print " Is Armable?: %s" % vehicle.is_armable
print " System status: %s" % vehicle.system_status.state
print " Mode: %s" % vehicle.mode.name # settable
# Close vehicle object before exiting script
vehicle.close()
# Shut down simulator
sitl.stop()
print("Completed")

In answer, I have not tried this on Linux. I suspect the connection string is correct, but you may have to also set the baud rate using baud=57600
