The library provides an API for companion systems to communicate with MAVLink-based robotics systems. It can be used for example within obstacle avoidance, and route planning algorithms.

The code tree is organized as a set of modules. They all are prefixed with a 'mu' word for a historical reason and it doesn't reflect anything for the moment.

This is a singleton component which mainly used to work with 'toml'-formatted configuration files. It is designed to be completely independent from other components and can be used in any c++ project independently.

This implements an API to work and design event-based and async control flows. At the backend currently, it is based on the 'libev' framework and provides high-level and convenient wrappers to 'libev' structures along with threading and queueing capabilities. Mainly the routing and transport subsystems depend on it. It is recommended to use 'muqueue' framework for control flow even for your own async functions for better control over load-balancing, getting runtime statistics and priorities.

This is kept for future purposes as some concepts of graph-like memory should be implemented here. For the moment there are just some data structures used in other components.

This implements a mavlink protocol and provides a great capability for applications to be smoothly integrated into state-of-the-art robotic systems using mavlink2. It utilizes the concept of a programmatic component bus and has great scalability. Components on the bus are transparently mapped into mavlink components. It is designed as a plugin-based system, implements message routing, and potentially can be used with non-mavlink protocols. There are modules for UDP, TCP, and serial transport already available. For specific applications, it can be extended with custom transport modules or protocols.

See mutelemetry's README.md for details.
