Message definition for message ID
Description
Examples
Parse and Use MAVLink Dialect
This example shows how to parse a MAVLink XML file and create messages and commands from the definitions.
Parse and store the MAVLink dialect XML. Specify the XML path. The default "common.xml"
dialect is provided. This XML file contains all the message and enum definitions.
dialect = mavlinkdialect("common.xml");
Create a MAVLink command from the MAV_CMD
enum, which is an enum of MAVLink commands to send to the UAV. Specify the setting as "int"
or "long"
, and the type as an integer or string.
cmdMsg = createcmd(dialect,"long",22)
cmdMsg = struct with fields:
MsgID: 76
Payload: [1x1 struct]
Verify the command name using num2enum
. Command 22 is a take-off command for the UAV. You can convert back to an ID using enum2num
. Your dialect can contain many different enums with different names and IDs.
cmdName = num2enum(dialect,"MAV_CMD",22)
cmdName = "MAV_CMD_NAV_TAKEOFF"
cmdID = enum2num(dialect,"MAV_CMD",cmdName)
cmdID = 22
Use enuminfo
to view the table of the MAV_CMD
enum entries.
info = enuminfo(dialect,"MAV_CMD");
info.Entries{:}

"MAV_CMD_NAV_WAYPOINT" 16 "Navigate to waypoint."
"MAV_CMD_NAV_LOITER_UNLIM" 17 "Loiter around this waypoint an unlimited amount of time"
"MAV_CMD_NAV_LOITER_TURNS" 18 "Loiter around this waypoint for X turns"
"MAV_CMD_NAV_LOITER_TIME" 19 "Loiter at the specified latitude, longitude and altitude for a certain amount of time. Multicopter vehicles stop at the point (within a vehicle-specific acceptance radius). Forward-only moving vehicles (e.g. fixed-wing) circle the point with the specified radius/direction. If the Heading Required parameter (2) is non-zero forward moving aircraft will only leave the loiter circle once heading towards the next waypoint."
"MAV_CMD_NAV_RETURN_TO_LAUNCH" 20 "Return to launch location"
"MAV_CMD_NAV_LAND" 21 "Land at location."
"MAV_CMD_NAV_TAKEOFF" 22 "Takeoff from ground / hand. Vehicles that support multiple takeoff modes (e.g. VTOL quadplane) should take off using the currently configured mode."
"MAV_CMD_NAV_LAND_LOCAL" 23 "Land at local position (local frame only)"
"MAV_CMD_NAV_TAKEOFF_LOCAL" 24 "Takeoff from local position (local frame only)"
"MAV_CMD_NAV_FOLLOW" 25 "Vehicle following, i.e. this waypoint represents the position of a moving vehicle"
"MAV_CMD_NAV_CONTINUE_AND_CHANGE_ALT" 30 "Continue on the current course and climb/descend to specified altitude. When the altitude is reached continue to the next command (i.e., don't proceed to the next command until the desired altitude is reached."
"MAV_CMD_NAV_LOITER_TO_ALT" 31 "Begin loiter at the specified Latitude and Longitude. If Lat=Lon=0, then loiter at the current position. Don't consider the navigation command complete (don't leave loiter) until the altitude has been reached. Additionally, if the Heading Required parameter is non-zero the aircraft will not leave the loiter until heading toward the next waypoint."
"MAV_CMD_DO_FOLLOW" 32 "Begin following a target"
"MAV_CMD_DO_FOLLOW_REPOSITION" 33 "Reposition the MAV after a follow target command has been sent"
"MAV_CMD_DO_ORBIT" 34 "Start orbiting on the circumference of a circle defined by the parameters. Setting any value NaN results in using defaults."
"MAV_CMD_NAV_ROI" 80 "Sets the region of interest (ROI) for a sensor set or the vehicle itself. This can then be used by the vehicle's control system to control the vehicle attitude and the attitude of various sensors such as cameras."

Query the dialect for a specific message ID. Create a blank MAVLink message using the message ID.
info = msginfo(dialect,"HEARTBEAT")

Input Arguments
dialect
— MAVLink dialect
mavlinkdialect
object
MAVLink dialect, specified as a mavlinkdialect
object, which contains a parsed dialect XML for MAVLink message definitions.
messageID
— MAVLink message ID or name
integer | string
MAVLink message ID or name, specified as an integer or string.
Output Arguments
msgTable
— Message definition
table
Message definition, returned as a table containing the message ID, name, description, and fields. The fields are given as another table with their own information. All this information is defined by dialect XML file.
