What is MAVLink?

MAVLink (Micro Air Vehicle Link) is a lightweight messaging protocol for communication with drones (and other robots). It provides a common language for autopilots, ground control stations, and onboard computers to exchange data such as sensor readings, commands, and status information. It's commonly used in the drone industry for controlling and monitoring unmanned vehicles.
