Setup frame

This command lets you view and change the motor frame type on supported MAVLink devices (ArduCopter and ArduPlane — QuadPlane). It uses the Frame client (IFrameClient) to list supported frames and apply your selection.

Asv.Mavlink.Shell.exe setup-frame -cs tcp://127.0.0.1:7341

Usage

Options:
  -cs|--connection <string>    The address of the connection to the MAVLink device, e.g., tcp://127.0.0.1:5760 (Required)

Examples

TCP:

Asv.Mavlink.Shell.exe setup-frame -cs tcp://127.0.0.1:5760

UDP:

Asv.Mavlink.Shell.exe setup-frame -cs udp://127.0.0.1:14550
