    Hey All,

    I'm working on integrating support for a Starling 2 max into an existing high level control stack written in Python. After completing the VOXL bootcamp and looking through the SDK docs I was unsure what the best method would be for building such an API. Is it possible to directly send velocity/position/orientation setpoints as well as image collection commands through VOXL? Would it be easier to simply send PX4 / Mavlink / Mavros commands?

    Just wanted to get some advice before I overcommit to an approach.

    Thanks,
    Griffin

      @griffin MavSDK is a popular choice for that.
