Hello,

I realize there are other posts of others trying to decode mavlink messages but all the examples I seen they are doing it different than I.  Right now I have captured all traffic between my drone and controller and saved it to a PCAP file.  Using tshark it looks like I can strip the entire data payload from the packet and retrieve the mavlink message which just looks like a basic byte array.

I already have generated my mavlink python bindings using the mavgenerate tool.

python -m mavgenerate

I have reviewed examples such as this: python example decode/encode
which creates a fifo object from a file but I don't understand how that file needs to be formatted.  These examples lack good documentation or at least I have not found it.

So my question is I have my python bindings file generated, I have a couple examples to start off with and I have my mavlink data I just need a little help getting started and I am hoping people might have ideas, comments or better yet might have good documentation with relevant examples for me to use?

Thanks in advance,
Joe
