documentation for hector_uav_msgs #35

Hi,

Really glad I found this packaga - it has some really awesome utilities. I've been trying to make a simple simulation for my controllers and so on - and it's really easy with this !

One issue I am finding is that there is very little documentation for the hector_uav_msgs ... I need to set the velocity of the motors and get back the actual x,y,z w.r.t the ground - and I am unable to find the rostopic to publish to ! Moreover rostopic list gives me a different list of topics compared to http://docs.ros.org/indigo/api/hector_uav_msgs/html/index-msg.html ... and all of it's fairly confusing.

So, is there someplace where the msgs have been documented ? I'd like the refer to them - Currently I am using altitude but I don't think it's giving me the z-position (or maybe it is ... I'm not sure)
