pyhulaX¶

pyhulaX is a reverse-engineered reconstruction of the original pyhula drone library for the HG-Fly F09-lite / Hula platform.

The original package was narrow in scope, tightly coupled to older code paths, had major API and design limitations, and was effectively constrained to Python 3.6 on Windows. This project rebuilds that capability into a modern, typed, packaged Python SDK that can be installed and used like a real library.

What This Project Achieved¶

reconstructed the control and telemetry surface from the underlying protocol
built a higher-level DroneAPI instead of exposing only awkward low-level helpers
made the package work on modern Python instead of being stuck on Python 3.6
removed the original Windows-only constraint from the usable SDK surface
introduced typed enums, Pydantic models, and explicit exceptions
added runtime configuration through DroneConfig with packaged defaults
added optional video, vision, web, and database features into extras
documented both the high-level SDK and the underlying runtime internals

What pyhulaX Includes¶

high-level control through DroneAPI
typed core types and models in pypack.core
closed-loop flight control in pypack.control
optional video, detection, recording, and browser streaming in pypack.video
file and database logging in pypack.logging
packaged runtime internals in pypack.fylo, pypack.system, and pypack.config

This documentation site focuses on that SDK surface, not on the excluded maze solver, CLI utilities, dashboards, or competition-specific helpers.

pypack related code is a heavily modified version of the original pyhula library, but the droneapi module is a new, higher-level API built on top of the underlying protocol. The droneapi module is the recommended way to control the drone.
