"Thanks for the quick reply. I see now you have all the process in Mavlink.cs in your code. I suppose you do use the same for generating mavlink msgs.        packet[0] = (byte)'U';          …"

"you look for the packet start byte "U" and parse the packet from there. and you can either reject or continue withing the first 4 bytes"

Hi, we are small research group and have a quadcopter from DIYdrones. We would like to experiment on automated landing algorithms. An important thing is that our arducopter will carry a small PC for vision and AI processing. I would like to write a very small routine: where the quadcopter is controlled/landed by a human using RC, and I would like to record values of servos, sensors into a text file via USB.The problem is there arducopter software installed on the quad sends loads of initial…See More
