Usage

//initial
import { mavlink20, MAVLink20Processor, Buffer } from 'mavlink-browser';
const mavlinkParser = new MAVLink20Processor(null, 42, 150);

//Establish a connection medium. Ex - WebSerial: 
const port = await navigator.serial.requestPort();
await port.open({ baudRate: 57600 });

//Create a message handler to handle incoming mavlink messages
mavlinkParser.on('message',(msg) => {
  //Can implement any custom logic to handle incoming messages. Below just logs the message to the console.
  console.log(msg)
})

//Can also create a handler for every mavlink message ex:
mavlinkParser.on('HEARTBEAT', (heartbeat) => {
  console.log(heartbeat)
})
mavlinkParser.on('MISSION_ACK', (mack) => {
  console.log(mack)
})

//Intialize serial port reader
const reader = port.readable.getReader();
while (reader) {
  const { value, done } = await reader.read();
  if (done) {
    reader.releaseLock();
    break;
  }
  // the below line parses the uint8 array and emits a message which is sent to the handler created above
  mavlinkParser.parseBuffer(value)
}


//Sending messages:
const writer = port.writable.getWriter();

//Create a command ex arm command:
const armCommand = new mavlink20.messages.command_long(1, 0, mavlink20.MAV_CMD_COMPONENT_ARM_DISARM, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0);

//Format it accordingly and send it through the webserial port
if (writer) {
  writer.write(new Buffer(armCommand.pack(mavlinkParser)))
}
