Adding a new message? #132

Closed hendrixgr closed 10 months ago

Hi I am not sure if this is an issue but i would love to add a new message about my airborne Yagi antenna

<message name="AIRBORNE_ANTENNA" id="181">
  <field name="mag_heading_deg"   type="float"/>
  <field name="gps_heading_deg"  type="float"/>
  <field name="ant_azimuth_deg" type="float"/>
  <field name="ant_elevation_deg" type="float"/>
</message>

The message can be different i just used the above code as an example. Basically i can't find a message to transmit the mag Heading in degrees without interfering with other modules plus that there is no message for the airborne antenna. Chris

You can add you own messages.xml for the time being and add it, copy your adjusted messages.xml in your ~/paparazzi/conf/ directory then a make clean && make and start using it.

Note that there was already a message for this purpose in the past as I recall, maybe I'm wrong, but search current code first before you need to add something.
