Is there a simulink block for mavlink communication with Pixhawk?

I am working on a project on Autopilot Quadcopter. We are using PixHawk as FMU and firmware is built in Simulink. The blocks in PSP (Pixhawk Pilot Support Package) are used. But we are facing problems in telemetry part. The protocol followed is mavlink. We need to send waypoints from QgroundControl to pixhawk as well as get informations back from it. We dont find any inbuilt simulink blocks for this. Kindly provide information regarding this.

Hi Sukanya,

What version of CMake and Matlab did you use in your project? I'm having an error with validation, I suspect the problem is the CMake version.

Thanks in Advanced!

In case you or anyone else is still looking for this functionality, I released my code on File Exchange: https://in.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/64899-simulink-mavlink

You'll have to write the s-functions for waypoint related messages using the templates provided, but it should be straight-forward. Contact me if you face any issues. Hopefully, I can soon release Matlab functions to automatically write the s-functions for any given MAVLink message.
