MAVSDK is the new name for the Dronecode SDK (formerly “DroneCore”), the project is now under the MAVLink project umbrella.
The MAVSDK project is a standards-compliant MAVLink Library with APIs for commonly used programming languages like C++, Swift, and Python. It’s the easiest way to integrate with drones over MAVLink, trusted by leading organizations in the industry.
MAVSDK consolidates the project identity
The project has seen tremendous growth since inception and has now reached the point where it needs its own identity, separate from Dronecode. The maintainer team and the PX4 community stands behind the move and will continue supporting the project. The rename and new home are meant to bring MAVLink adopting communities closer.
Community Backed
The project is made possible thanks to adopting organizations who trust it to deploy products/services and contribute to the codebase.
