MAVProxy documentation effort and "homepage".

Please be advised that MAVProxy now has a "homepage" and initial documentation effort. 

If you can add to the documentation please do.    If you find a mistake, please fix it.      If you want to complain about how poor it is to start with, I'll listen to your complaints only after you've edited more on that subject that I have.   :-)

I am not an author of mavproxy, but am doing this with the primary author's support, (Tridge)

It is located here: http://qgroundcontrol.org/mavlink/mavproxy_startpage

David, Thank you very much. I look forward to trying out some of your mavgraph examples with MatrixPilot UAV DevBoard implementation of MAVlink. (although our version of python mavlink tools will be older).

Hi David,

in these days i test on arm linux a mavproxy , it works but is not optimized . On a 500 mhz cpu request about 80 % of resource . I use same cpu for video streaming server and in that case i use only 8 % of cpu . I think that could be a problem of log storage .... do you know a method for disable log on mavproxy ?

Best

Roberto

Thanks for the work on the docs David!

In many ways mavproxy has become a toolkit for people wanting to do more advanced things with ground stations. The biggest weakness in this is the lack of documentation.

Cheers, Tridge

Could somebody put in a couple of sentences about what mavproxy does?

For example, in the "Simple Example", what is the program doing?

Simple example:

mavproxy.py --master=/dev/ttyXXXXX

(where /dev/ttyXXXXX is a serial device connected to a UAV either directly or via a data radio)
