MAVLink Micro Air Vehicle Message Marshalling Library
|
|
|
|
This is a library for lightweight communication between
|
|
Micro Air Vehicles (swarm) and/or ground control stations.
|
|
|
|
It serializes C-structs for serial channels and can be used with
|
|
any type of radio modem.
|
|
|
|
MAVLink is licensed under the terms of the Lesser General Public License of the Free Software Foundation (LGPL).
|
|
As MAVLink is a header-only library, compiling an application with it is considered "using the libary", not a derived work. MAVLink can therefore be used without limits in any closed-source application without publishing the source code of the closed-source application.
|
|
|
|
To generate/update packets, select mavlink_standard_message.xml
|
|
in the QGroundControl station settings view, select mavlink/include as
|
|
the output directory and click on "Save and Generate".
|
|
You will find the newly generated/updated message_xx.h files in
|
|
the mavlink/include/generated folder.
|
|
|
|
To use MAVLink, #include the <mavlink.h> file, not the individual
|
|
message files. In some cases you will have to add the main folder to the include search path as well. To be safe, we recommend these flags:
|
|
|
|
gcc -I mavlink/include -I mavlink/include/<your message set, e.g. common>
|
|
