About:
MAVSDK provides a modern, high-level C++17 API for communicating with MAVLink compatible systems like drones and autopilots. It abstracts away the complexity of the MAVLink protocol, offering a simple library for developers to integrate flight control and telemetry data. The SDK supports multiple transport layers including UDP and Serial, making it versatile for ground stations and onboard applications.
|
Key Features:
- Modern C++17 library with intuitive APIs
- Support for multiple communication transports (UDP, TCP, Serial)
- Asynchronous API design using promises and callbacks
- Cross-platform compatibility (Linux, macOS, Windows)
|
Use Cases:
- Developing ground control station applications
- Integrating drone autonomy into custom software
- Automated testing of flight stack firmware
- Data logging and telemetry analysis
|
Alternatives:
-
pymavlink
– pymavlink is a Python-based generator and library, whereas MAVSDK provides a compiled C++ library with a higher-level, easier-to-use interface.
-
DroneCore
– DroneCore was the predecessor to MAVSDK; MAVSDK is the actively maintained evolution of the project.
