Use reference instead of pointer and adhere to minimal conventions for clarity. These MAVLink dependent interfaces should be pushed out to the MAVLink module and internal interfaces be independent. A simple request like set gimbal to a neutral position takes three vehicle commands with a specific combination of float and double parameters which have to be filled with gimbal, vehicle and MAVLink context. This should really not be the case.

Building a PX4 based drone, rover, boat or robot
The PX4 User Guide explains how to assemble supported vehicles and fly drones with PX4. See the forum and chat if you need help!
Changing Code and Contributing
This Developer Guide is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.
Developers should read the Guide for Contributions. See the forum and chat if you need help!
Weekly Dev Call
The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a weekly dev call.
Note
The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform. It includes a QA session for newcomers. All regular calls are listed in the Dronecode calendar.
