"What are the plans with the mission planner? Will it support both, or switching entirely?  I will likely match the path taken with the mission planner with copter-gcs. Thanks, Bart."

"What he means is that the MAVLink protocol is specified using a file, which states message ids and fields /sizes for each packet. The generator takes that specification, and generates code for it. For me, it was much easier to leave the c++ code…"

Hi,I'm thinking of getting a Fireball V90 (http://www.probotix.com/FireBall_v90_cnc_router_kit/ but open to other suggestions on the same price region) to machine parts for an octo copter and gimbal.I have a few questions:- looking at http://h12.abload.de/img/mobile.2vuub7.jpg, I have seen the method of using screws to assemble 2D g10 pieces…See More

Copter-GCS now supports MAVLink

Posted on July 9, 2011 at 1:59pm 61 Comments

At long last, I finally beat MAVLink into Java submission. I wasn't able to find any MAVLink bindings for Java (needed by android), so I ended up using JNI and wrote a MAVLink wrapper. It works nicely and makes using MAVLink very easy. Its available for download…
