For information on the MAVlink communication protocol click [here](http://qgroundcontrol.org/mavlink/start).
This package supports Mavlink over serial (such as a
[SiK modem](http://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-sik-telemetry-radio.html))
and Mavlink over UDP (such as via
[mavproxy](https://github.com/ArduPilot/MAVProxy)). Serial is useful
for point to point links, and UDP is useful for where you have
multiple simultaneous clients such as the robot and
[QGroundControl](http://qgroundcontrol.com/).
As at 2017-04, this package supports Mavlink 1.0 only. If the robot
doesn't receiving data then check that the other devices are
configured to send version 1.0 frames.

## How to use: UDP
``` go

To test, install Mavproxy and set it up to listen on serial and repeat
over UDP:
`$ mavproxy.py --out=udpbcast:192.168.0.255:14550`
Change the address to the broadcast address of your subnet.
