The MAVLink message set.
Message sets and the Message trait
Each message set has its own module with corresponding data types, including a MavMessage enum
that represents all possible messages in that message set. The Message trait is used to
represent messages in an abstract way, and each MavMessage enum implements this trait (for
example, ardupilotmega::MavMessage). This is then monomorphized to the specific message
set you are using in your application at compile-time via type parameters. If you expect
ArduPilotMega-flavored messages, then you will need a MavConnection<ardupilotmega::MavMessage>
and you will receive ardupilotmega::MavMessages from it.
Some message sets include others. For example, all message sets except common include the
common message set. This is represented with extra values in the MavMessage enum: a message
in the common message set received on an ArduPilotMega connection will be an
ardupilotmega::MavMessage::common(common::MavMessage).
Please note that if you want to enable a given message set, you must also enable the
feature for the message sets that it includes. For example, you cannot use the ardupilotmega
feature without also using the uavionix and icarous features.
