Amazing, that's very cool, thanks for that! As soon as MAVSDK 2 is out we will have the new offboard API and can adapt this. |

This is nice and clear.
Just please fix the issues pycodestyle has:
https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK-Python/actions/runs/5145846010/jobs/9270623388?pr=600
And then I'll merge it.

MAVSDK 2 is basically the main branch of MAVSDK. Also see: mavlink/MAVSDK#2002 |

This PR introduces a new Python example that demonstrates how to perform offboard control with position setpoints read from a CSV file. This example can be useful for developers who want to design complex maneuvers for their drones using pre-calculated trajectories.
The new example, located in the examples/from_csv folder, includes the following features:
A script (offboard_from_csv.py) that reads position, velocity, and acceleration setpoints from a CSV file and sends these setpoints to a connected drone in offboard mode.
A well-documented codebase, explaining each part of the code in detail, the structure of the CSV file, and the meaning of different mode codes used in the script.
A plotted image of the trajectory, providing a visual representation of the intended path of the drone.
In addition, If you remember last week, I added function for the set_position_velocity_acceleration_ned function to the MAVSDK with your great supportive help now that it is merged I decided to add an exmaple so people know how to use it.
However, as of May 2023, this function is not available in the default MAVSDK-Python installation via pip3. For this reason, I've currently commented out the section of code using this function in the example script.
The example is designed in such a way that users can easily uncomment this section and switch to set_position_velocity_acceleration_ned when it becomes available in the default installation. This will allow the users to input acceleration setpoints in addition to position and velocity.
I look forward to your feedback and am open to making any necessary changes.
