Right, I've played with MAVlink before and as said it is not a wireless standard, you can send it over hard link serial if you want. I'm assuming your are sending the MAVlink over a pair of serial-RF adapters as is usual.
http://copter.ardupilot.com/wiki/common-using-the-3dr-radio-for-telemetry-with-apm-and-px4/ Seems to be what most use ( I have a pair of these as well ). If you look at the technical section your can see they list FHSS GFSK as the modulation. I would look into the datasheet for the chip for more details. I would recommend just doing the RF demodulation in GNUradio and then send the packets to an external program for further processing. ~Andrew On Sat, Jun 28, 2014 at 8:06 AM, Andre Puschmann < andre.puschm...@tu-ilmenau.de> wrote: > Hey, > > I have the feeling that there maybe a misunderstanding about what > MAVlink really is.
