Thanks

  Hi Chethan
  I think, that Message #0 Hearthbeat is the right Message. But base_mode return value 0 and 68. Thats not a unique Mode.

    Does APM board send out heartbeat message automatically after you connected to PC?

      }
      i used this code to read mavlink messages from APM to PC

        Could you help me?
        
        I would sniffing Arducopter Mavlink Protocol.
        
        Use also this code snippet.
        
        How i can get GPS data from Mavlink connection?
        
        Thanks

        hi Bruno
        
        I was working on sending visual based information on mavlink with respect to
        
        GPS data it was in build in Arducopter code.Try using mavproxy which
        
        is much more user friendly in terms of data transmission.

        Hi chethan. Thanks for your help. Now could read GPS Position, battery voltage, and Mann more. But i would know the status of my quad (disarm, arm, stabilized, rtl, failsafe). Could you tell me the command ID?
        Thanks

        I am using similar code too, however this call never return TRUE
        
        if(mavlink_parse_char(MAVLINK_COMM_0, c, &msg, &status))
