Thanks for your PR @persuader72. I'm appalled by the OpenDrone ID MAVLink messages, now that I look at them in detail but a well, too late now, I suppose.
However, we have to figure out which things we want to expose raw and what we can hide and make easier.

With the "ArmStatus" stream i think that the feature set is completed |
| enum VerAcc { | ||
| VER_ACC_UNKNOWN = 0; // The vertical accuracy is unknown. | ||
| VER_ACC_METER_150 = 1; // The vertical accuracy is smaller than 150 meter. | ||
| VER_ACC_METER_45 = 2; // The vertical accuracy is smaller than 45 meter. | ||
| VER_ACC_METER_25 = 3; // The vertical accuracy is smaller than 25 meter. | ||
| VER_ACC_METER_10 = 4; // The vertical accuracy is smaller than 10 meter. | ||
| VER_ACC_METER_3 = 5; // The vertical accuracy is smaller than 3 meter. | ||
| VER_ACC_METER_1 = 6; // The vertical accuracy is smaller than 1 meter. | ||
| } |

Still puzzles my why they wouldn't just use a uint8 to signal meter accuracy... but anyway, I think I can live with that.

I think the reasons are historic. In some radio broadcasting ID protocols (like AIS or ADSB) the accuracy is an enumerative type or is rounded to less than 8 bits to save space (then save bandwidth)

@julianoes, It is better to rewrite the history of this PR in one single commit? |

@persuader72 Feel free to rewrite the history and force push. If you don't, then I'll just squash-merge it. |

Sorry, this disappeared off my radar. I will review again ASAP! |
|
@julianoes @persuader72 Is it possible to merge this? |
|
Sorry yes, I need to work through this. I have it planned as soon as v3 is done (see mavlink/MAVSDK#2316). |
Proto file for the remote_id protocol.
This proto file is need by the new remote_id MAVSDK plugin.
The goal of the plugin to use the companion computer to work with open drone id compatible hardware like this even is the autopilot is not compatible with such protocol.
