Test Lint Dialects Go Report Card CodeCov PkgGoDev

gomavlib is a library that implements the Mavlink protocol (2.0 and 1.0) in the Go programming language. It can interact with Mavlink-capable devices through a serial port, UDP, TCP or a custom transport, and it can be used to power UGVs, UAVs, ground stations, monitoring systems or routers.

Mavlink is a lightweight and transport-independent protocol that is mostly used to communicate with unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV, drones, quadcopters, multirotors). It is supported by the most popular open-source flight controllers (Ardupilot and PX4).

This library powers the mavp2p router.

Features:

  • Decode and encode Mavlink v2.0 and v1.0. Supports checksums, empty-byte truncation (v2.0), signatures (v2.0), message extensions (v2.0).
  • Dialects are optional, the library can work with standard dialects (ready-to-use standard dialects are provided in directory dialects/), custom dialects or no dialects at all. In case of custom dialects, a dialect generator is available in order to convert XML definitions into their Go representation.
  • Create nodes able to communicate with multiple endpoints in parallel and with multiple transports:
    • serial
    • UDP (server, client or broadcast mode)
    • TCP (server or client mode)
    • custom reader/writer
  • Emit heartbeats automatically
  • Send automatic stream requests to Ardupilot devices (disabled by default)
  • Support both domain names and IPs
  • Examples provided for every feature, comprehensive test suite, continuous integration

Important announcement

my main open source projects are being transferred to the bluenviron organization, in order to allow the community to maintain and evolve the code regardless of my personal availability.

In the next months, the repository name will be changed accordingly.

dialect-import my_dialect.xml

Testing

If you want to hack the library and test the results, unit tests can be launched with:

Overview

Package gomavlib is a library that implements Mavlink 2.0 and 1.0 in the Go programming language. It can power UGVs, UAVs, ground stations, monitoring systems or routers acting in a Mavlink network.

Mavlink is a lighweight and transport-independent protocol that is mostly used to communicate with unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV, drones, quadcopters, multirotors). It is supported by the most common open-source flight controllers (Ardupilot and PX4).

Examples are available at https://github.com/aler9/gomavlib/tree/master/examples

Types

type Channel 

type Channel struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Channel is a communication channel created by an Endpoint. An Endpoint can create channels. For instance, a TCP client endpoint creates a single channel, while a TCP server endpoint creates a channel for each incoming connection.

func (*Channel) Endpoint 

func (ch *Channel) Endpoint() Endpoint

Endpoint returns the channel Endpoint.

func (*Channel) String 

func (ch *Channel) String() string

String implements fmt.Stringer.

type Endpoint 

type Endpoint interface {
	// Conf returns the configuration used to initialize the endpoint
	Conf() EndpointConf
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Endpoint is an endpoint, which can create Channels.

type EndpointConf 

type EndpointConf interface {
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

EndpointConf is the interface implemented by all endpoint configurations.

type EndpointCustom 

type EndpointCustom struct {
	// the struct or interface implementing Read(), Write() and Close()
	ReadWriteCloser io.ReadWriteCloser
}

EndpointCustom sets up a endpoint that works with a custom interface that provides the Read(), Write() and Close() functions.

type EndpointSerial 

type EndpointSerial struct {
	// the name of the device of the serial port (i.e: /dev/ttyUSB0)
	Device string

	// baud rate (i.e: 57600)
	Baud int
}

EndpointSerial sets up a endpoint that works with a serial port.

type EndpointTCPClient 

type EndpointTCPClient struct {
	// domain name or IP of the server to connect to, example: 1.2.3.4:5600
	Address string
}

EndpointTCPClient sets up a endpoint that works with a TCP client. TCP is fit for routing frames through the internet, but is not the most appropriate way for transferring frames from a UAV to a GCS, since it does not allow frame losses.

type EndpointTCPServer 

type EndpointTCPServer struct {
	// listen address, example: 0.0.0.0:5600
	Address string
}

EndpointTCPServer sets up a endpoint that works with a TCP server. TCP is fit for routing frames through the internet, but is not the most appropriate way for transferring frames from a UAV to a GCS, since it does not allow frame losses.

type EndpointUDPBroadcast 

type EndpointUDPBroadcast struct {
	// the broadcast address to which sending outgoing frames, example: 192.168.5.255:5600
	BroadcastAddress string

	// (optional) the listening address. if empty, it will be computed
	// from the broadcast address.
	LocalAddress string
}

EndpointUDPBroadcast sets up a endpoint that works with UDP broadcast packets.

type EndpointUDPClient 

type EndpointUDPClient struct {
	// domain name or IP of the server to connect to, example: 1.2.3.4:5600
	Address string
}

EndpointUDPClient sets up a endpoint that works with a UDP client.

type EndpointUDPServer 

type EndpointUDPServer struct {
	// listen address, example: 0.0.0.0:5600
	Address string
}

EndpointUDPServer sets up a endpoint that works with an UDP server. This is the most appropriate way for transferring frames from a UAV to a GCS if they are connected to the same network.

type Event 

type Event interface {
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Event is the interface implemented by all events received with node.Events().

type EventChannelClose 

type EventChannelClose struct {

EventChannelClose is the event fired when a channel gets closed.

type EventChannelOpen 

type EventChannelOpen struct {
	Channel *Channel
}

EventChannelOpen is the event fired when a channel gets opened.

type EventFrame 

type EventFrame struct {
	// the frame
	Frame frame.Frame

	// the channel from which the frame was received
	Channel *Channel
}

EventFrame is the event fired when a frame is received.

func (*EventFrame) ComponentID 

func (res *EventFrame) ComponentID() byte

type EventStreamRequested 

type EventStreamRequested struct {
	// the channel to which the stream request is addressed
	Channel *Channel
	// the system id to which the stream requests is addressed
	SystemID byte
	// the component id to which the stream requests is addressed
	ComponentID byte
}

EventStreamRequested is the event fired when an automatic stream request is sent.
