Sandbox

For teams that want to write their own code to run on their drone, we recommend doing so through the "vrc_sandbox" in the Phase II repo: https://github.com/bellflight/VRC-2021-Phase-II/tree/main/vrc_sandbox. This has already been configured to be very simple to get started with.

1. Edit the contents of vrc_sandbox/sandbox.py with your desired code. Read the comments within the file to understand what's going on

2. Un-comment the sandbox module from the docker-compose.yml file to enable it with the rest of the VMC software

3. Run sudo docker-compose build sandbox to ensure the built Docker container contains the latest version of your code

With that, you can start the VMC software like normal! Your code will run alongside the rest of the VMC modules.
