MAVLink Decode

Overview

The MAVLink Decode Node.

Mavlink Decode decodes the binary data attributed to the Message Name (identifier of message type) and Message (message instance). The identifier comes from the Dialect's message definitions. The message instance originates from the output of On MAVLink Packet Received.

MAVLink Communication in Incari is available as a plugin and is enabled as default. However, in the case that it is disabled in the Plugins Editor, it will not appear in the Project Settings and MAVLink Decode will not show up in the Toolbox. Please refer to the Plugins Editor to find out more information.

The Message Name must match the identifier in the message instance. If they are the same, the binary data will be successfully decoded and outputted to their respective outputs which appear when a Message Name has been selected. If not, the Node fails to fire correctly.

When the Message Name is selected, more outputs on the Node are displayed. For example, if Altitude is selected as the identifier, the appropriate outputs for that message type will appear.
