How can I use MAVLINK to obtain odometry values

[José Quintanilla]

I already have the code working with a SITL but I want to be able to connect my laptop to the drone and obtain the data, im able to connect through QGC but not through the code

from pymavlink import mavutil
import asyncio

async def run():
    while True:
        # Start a connection listening on a UDP port
        the_connection = mavutil.mavlink_connection('udpin:localhost:14550')

        # Wait for the first heartbeat 
        #   This sets the system and component ID of remote system for the link
        the_connection.wait_heartbeat()
        print("Heartbeat from system (system %u component %u)" % (the_connection.target_system, the_connection.target_component))
        asyncio.sleep(2)
        # Once connected, use 'the_connection' to get and send messages
        msg = the_connection.recv_match(type ='ODOMETRY',blocking=True)
        msg = str(msg)
        msg = msg.split(',')
        print(msg[17])
        #print(msg)
        asyncio.sleep(2)
if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(run())
