New MAVLink autopilot from PitLab

[Piotr Laskowski]

Hello

We develop and sell since 2012 one more autopilot branded "PitLab". Since last year it support MAVLink. In HEARTBEAT message we send autopilot type GENERIC, but see here is many other kinds of AP present.

May I ask to assign the "PitLab" to the next free number with adnotation to website pitlab.com ?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks, is the autopilot pitlab or Dedalus ?

I presume you are asking for https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html#MAV_AUTOPILOT to have a value https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html#MAV_AUTOPILOT_DEDALUS ?

[PitLab]

Both autopilots use the same core, difference is only in size and IO possibilities. Very soon both devices will be integrated into one universal device with possibility of both. The future autopilot can work independent as Dedalus and cooperate with OSD still keeping small enough size. Good idea is to keep name Dedalus for next versions of this device.

Yes, I am asking about MAV_AUTOPILOT.

Please create a PR for the addition in https://github.com/mavlink/mavlink/blob/master/message_definitions/v1.0/minimal.xml#L5 and we can take it from there.

The purpose of this field is high level compatibility of the flight stack. In other words the entry in MAV_AUTOPILOT should be the name of the flight stack and won't change as you get new hardware.
