MAVSDK

In order to support multiple programming languages, MAVSDK implements a gRPC server in C++ which allows clients in different programming languages to connect to. The API is defined by the proto IDL (proto files). This architecture allows the clients to be implemented in idiomatic patterns, so using the tooling and syntax expected by end users. For example, the Python library can be installed from PyPi using pip
