A tool to interact with MAVLink compatible vehicles.
Currently the majority of the features is aimed at configuration management. However, it is planned to extend the scope of this tool to other MAVLink related tasks as well, hence the name.
I always wanted a neat yet feature rich CLI tool for mavlink.
from the mavlink-cli --help
output:
USAGE:
mavlink-cli [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>
FLAGS:
-h, --help
Prints help information
-V, --version
Prints version information
OPTIONS:
-c, --connection <mavlink-connection>
MAVLink connection string. (tcpout|tcpin|udpout|udpin|udpbcast|serial|file):(ip|dev|path):(port|baud)
[default: udpbcast:0.0.0.0:14551]
SUBCOMMANDS:
configure
Interactive configuration management
Starts a fuzzy finder which allows to search through the MAVLink parameters available on the connected
vehicle. Select one ([Return]) or multiple ([Tabulator]) parameters which you would like to inspect. You can
modify them, including sanity checking if metainformation is avaibable on the parameter.
help
Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)
info
Browse all parameters with available metainformation
Starts a fuzzy finder which allow to search through the MAVLink paramters for which metainformation is

avaibable metainformation for each parameter is printed to stdout.

- PX4 support
- no waiting for all parameters to arrive in
configure
mode - fuzzy search through descriptions as well (see this issue
- better Error reporting
- report flag, which enable a detailed report about which parameters where changed on program termination
- motor test capability
- live monitiroing of attitude, battery telemetry & more

cursive
, it might be a good replacement for skim + dialoguer - document everything public
- refined support for the mavlink parameter protocol
- refine user interaction
- retain last search in
configure
mode - implement current value adoption for Bitmask
- sending heartbeat ourselves
- detecting missing communication
- better errorhandling in the
mavlink_stub
module - PATH like mechanism for parameter definition files
- Fix super slow
push
- Enable build on windows
I develop this project in my free time out of personal interest in the topic. You're welcome to leave feedback in the issues. However, as my time for working on this is limited, I might be slow to respond.
