MAVLink Dependency

The official MAVLink source can be found at https://github.com/mavlink/mavlink

However, this autopilot is built against a custom version which is not always in sync with the official version.
Therefore, it is recommended that to build the autopilot you clone our custom version available from
https://github.com/ancl/mavlink.  Note, we are currently using the v10release branch.

Similar to QGroundControl (http://qgroundcontrol.org) this software expects MAVLink to be stored in the same directory as the autopilot source.
In other words, after cloning the autopilot and mavlink you should see both of the folders in a single directory listing.
