Function Documentation

int rc_mav_send_msg(mavlink_message_t msg)

Sends any user-packed mavlink message.

To construct your own mavlink_message_t from the packet definitions in include/rc/mavlink/common/, follow this example snippet and substitute in the functions for packing the packet you wish to send. rc/mavlink_udp_helpers.h provides many helper functions to pack and send the most common mavlink packets so that you do not need to use this function always.
