MAVLINK
Lightweight drone messaging protocol for autopilots and ground stations
MIT
ABOUT
Autopilots, GCS apps, and companion computers need a shared message format. MAVLink is the lightweight drone protocol for telemetry, commands, and missions so PX4, ArduPilot, and QGroundControl interoperate without a custom bus.
INTEGRATION GUIDE
1. Send heartbeat, attitude, and GPS telemetry from an autopilot to a GCS
2. Upload waypoint missions over serial, UDP, or radio links
3. Generate language bindings from a MAVLink XML dialect
4. Bridge a companion computer to PX4 or ArduPilot over MAVLink
