-/*
- This example runs a MAVLink "camera" utilizing the MAVSDK server plugins
- on a separate thread. This uses two MAVSDK instances, one GCS, one camera.
-
- The main thread acts as a GCS and reads telemetry, parameters, transmits across
- a mission, clears the mission, arms the vehicle and then triggers a vehicle takeoff.
-
- The camera thread handles all the servers and triggers callbacks, publishes telemetry,
- handles and stores parameters, prints received missions and sets the vehicle height to 10m on
- successful takeoff request.
