Decoding MAVLink Messages with Swift + Xcode

I wrote an article on how to decode MAVLink messages using a Swift based Xcode project.  This is of interest if you’re attempting to write your own ground control station software for the Mac (or iOS).

A full sample Xcode project is available from my GitHub. Screenshot of the app below.

Cheers

    Hi Michael

    Thanks a lot for the effort. This made it a thousand times easier to get started with Mavlink in swift! Cheers.

    Hi Jamie

    I've pushed an update to the github repo that fixes this issue. Please pull the update and run "git submodule update --init"

    The issue was the Mavlink C Library submodule using a SSH/git URL, it now uses a HTTPS url. The former requires you to have an SSH key on your machine which is associated with a GitHub account. 

    Let me know if you have any other issues or questions.

    Cheers

    Michael

    Hi Micheal, I have a problem when initializing the Git submodules:

    Cloning into 'Vendor/Mavlink'...

    Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.30.252.130' to the list of known hosts.

    Permission denied (publickey).

    fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

    Please make sure you have the correct access rights

    and the repository exists.

    Clone of 'git@github.com:mavlink/c_library.git' into submodule path 'Vendor/Mavlink' failed

    Any ideas what might the problem be?
