MAVLink Support
The Micro Air Vehicle Link (MAVLink) communication protocol is a message protocol for sending and receiving messages between UAVs. The protocol uses a publish-subscribe pattern for data streams with specified topics and message types. There are different sub-protocols for missions and parameters. Use the MAVLink supported functions to specify predefined or custom dialects, setup clients, and send or receive messages.
The MAVLink message definitions (dialects) and MAVLink serialization helper functions in UAV Toolbox are obtained from mavlink/message_definitions/v1.0/ and mavlink/c_library_v2 version of repositories respectively.
The message definition XML files and the C-language version of serialization helper functions are made available under the MIT license.
