Does Inav have capabilities to control a drone programmatically? Like flying by points on a map or controlling a drone from a computer or onboard raspberry pi?

Does Inav have capabilities to control a drone programmatically? Like flying by points on a map or controlling a drone from a computer or onboard raspberry pi?

Can you please share some working examples on how to control a drone programmatically?
Or isn't a inav's speciality and it is better to look to ArduPilot or something else?

I'm interested in something similar. I know i can control an iNav drone with stick inputs and give it a pre-programmed mission. But i can have an onboard controller like an RPI or Arduino tell it where to go?

For first, the term you want to look for in the documentation is "waypoint mission".

For using a flight computer, look at MSP.
This repo and others by the same person have example code:

Everything you ask is described in detail on the INAV wiki, for example:

https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/wiki/Navigation-modes

And other wiki pages.
