System status flag, see MAV_STATE ENUM MAVLink version, not writable by user, gets added by protocol because of magic data type: uint8_t_mavlink_version The general system state. If the system is following the MAVLink standard, the system state is mainly defined by three orthogonal states/modes: The system mode, which is either LOCKED (motors shut down and locked), MANUAL (system under RC control), GUIDED (system with autonomous position control, position setpoint controlled manually) or AUTO (system guided by path/waypoint planner). The NAV_MODE defined the current flight state: LIFTOFF (often an open-loop maneuver), LANDING, WAYPOINTS or VECTOR. This represents the internal navigation state machine. The system status shows wether the system is currently active or not and if an emergency occured. During the CRITICAL and EMERGENCY states the MAV is still considered to be active, but should start emergency procedures autonomously. After a failure occured it should first move from active to critical to allow manual intervention and then move to emergency after a certain timeout.

USE COMMAND_LONG with MAV_CMD_DO_SET_MODE INSTEAD. Set the system mode, as defined by enum MAV_MODE. There is no target component id as the mode is by definition for the overall aircraft, not only for one component. The system setting the mode The new base mode The new autopilot-specific mode. This field can be ignored by an autopilot. Request to read the onboard parameter with the param_id string id. Onboard parameters are stored as key[const char*] -> value[float]. This allows to send a parameter to any other component (such as the GCS) without the need of previous knowledge of possible parameter names. Thus the same GCS can store different parameters for different autopilots. See also http://qgroundcontrol.org/parameter_interface for a full documentation of QGroundControl and IMU code. System ID Component ID Onboard parameter id, terminated by NULL if the length is less than 16 human-readable chars and WITHOUT null termination (NULL) byte if the length is exactly 16 chars - applications have to provide 16+1 bytes storage if the ID is stored as string Parameter index. Send -1 to use the param ID field as identifier (else the param id will be ignored) Request all parameters of this component. After this request, all parameters are emitted. System ID Component ID Emit the value of a onboard parameter. The inclusion of param_count and param_index in the message allows the recipient to keep track of received parameters and allows him to re-request missing parameters after a loss or timeout. Onboard parameter id, terminated by NULL if the length is less than 16 human-readable chars and WITHOUT null termination (NULL) byte if the length is exactly 16 chars - applications have to provide 16+1 bytes storage if the ID is stored as string Onboard parameter value Onboard parameter type: see the MAV_PARAM_TYPE enum for supported data types. Total number of onboard parameters Index of this onboard parameter Set a parameter value TEMPORARILY to RAM. It will be reset to default on system reboot. Send the ACTION MAV_ACTION_STORAGE_WRITE to PERMANENTLY write the RAM contents to EEPROM. IMPORTANT: The receiving component should acknowledge the new parameter value by sending a param_value message to all communication partners. This will also ensure that multiple GCS all have an up-to-date list of all parameters. If the sending GCS did not receive a PARAM_VALUE message within its timeout time, it should re-send the PARAM_SET message.

The rationale for the timestamp in the setpoint is to allow the system to compensate for the transport delay of the setpoint. This allows the system to compensate processing latency. Valid options are: MAV_FRAME_GLOBAL_INT = 5, MAV_FRAME_GLOBAL_RELATIVE_ALT_INT = 6, MAV_FRAME_GLOBAL_TERRAIN_ALT_INT = 11 Bitmask to indicate which dimensions should be ignored by the vehicle: a value of 0b0000000000000000 or 0b0000001000000000 indicates that none of the setpoint dimensions should be ignored.

The current system altitude. Timestamp (micros since boot or Unix epoch) This altitude measure is initialized on system boot and monotonic (it is never reset, but represents the local altitude change). The only guarantee on this field is that it will never be reset and is consistent within a flight. The recommended value for this field is the uncorrected barometric altitude at boot time. This altitude will also drift and vary between flights. This altitude measure is strictly above mean sea level and might be non-monotonic (it might reset on events like GPS lock or when a new QNH value is set). It should be the altitude to which global altitude waypoints are compared to. Note that it is *not* the GPS altitude, however, most GPS modules already output AMSL by default and not the WGS84 altitude. This is the local altitude in the local coordinate frame. It is not the altitude above home, but in reference to the coordinate origin (0, 0, 0). It is up-positive. This is the altitude above the home position. It resets on each change of the current home position. This is the altitude above terrain. It might be fed by a terrain database or an altimeter. Values smaller than -1000 should be interpreted as unknown. This is not the altitude, but the clear space below the system according to the fused clearance estimate. It generally should max out at the maximum range of e.g. the laser altimeter. It is generally a moving target. A negative value indicates no measurement available.

The flags message is an integer bitmask containing information on which EKF outputs are valid. See the ESTIMATOR_STATUS_FLAGS enum definition for further information. The innovaton test ratios show the magnitude of the sensor innovation divided by the innovation check threshold. Under normal operation the innovaton test ratios should be below 0.5 with occasional values up to 1.0. Values greater than 1.0 should be rare under normal operation and indicate that a measurement has been rejected by the filter. The user should be notified if an innovation test ratio greater than 1.0 is recorded. Notifications for values in the range between 0.5 and 1.0 should be optional and controllable by the user.

RTCM message for injecting into the onboard GPS (used for DGPS) LSB: 1 means message is fragmented, next 2 bits are the fragment ID, the remaining 5 bits are used for the sequence ID. Messages are only to be flushed to the GPS when the entire message has been reconstructed on the autopilot. The fragment ID specifies which order the fragments should be assembled into a buffer, while the sequence ID is used to detect a mismatch between different buffers. The buffer is considered fully reconstructed when either all 4 fragments are present, or all the fragments before the first fragment with a non full payload is received. This management is used to ensure that normal GPS operation doesn't corrupt RTCM data, and to recover from a unreliable transport delivery order. data length RTCM message (may be fragmented) Message appropriate for high latency connections like Iridium System mode bitfield, see MAV_MODE_FLAG ENUM in mavlink/include/mavlink_types.h A bitfield for use for autopilot-specific flags.

This interface replaces DATA_STREAM The ID of the requested MAVLink message. v1.0 is limited to 254 messages. The interval between two messages, in microseconds. A value of -1 indicates this stream is disabled, 0 indicates it is not available, > 0 indicates the interval at which it is sent. Provides state for additional features The VTOL state if applicable. Is set to MAV_VTOL_STATE_UNDEFINED if UAV is not in VTOL configuration. The landed state. Is set to MAV_LANDED_STATE_UNDEFINED if landed state is unknown.

Network ID (0 for broadcast) System ID (0 for broadcast) Component ID (0 for broadcast) A code that identifies the software component that understands this message (analogous to usb device classes or mime type strings). If this code is less than 32768, it is considered a 'registered' protocol extension and the corresponding entry should be added to https://github.com/mavlink/mavlink/extension-message-ids.xml. Software creators can register blocks of message IDs as needed (useful for GCS specific metadata, etc...). Message_types greater than 32767 are considered local experiments and should not be checked in to any widely distributed codebase. Variable length payload. The length is defined by the remaining message length when subtracting the header and other fields. The entire content of this block is opaque unless you understand any the encoding message_type. The particular encoding used can be extension specific and might not always be documented as part of the mavlink specification. Send raw controller memory.
