Hello Mithum,
I am working with UAV as well. Yes, you can use the socket to
communication. Read the "/data/Protocol/README.Protocol".
I am using this command:
--generic=socket,out,50,localhost,5500,udp,autopilot_ROL -> to send
datas to flight control systems
--generic=socket,in,50,,5501,udp,autopilot_ROL -> to receive datas
from flight control systems
In the autopilo_ROL.xml has:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
<generic>
<output>
<line_separator>newline</line_separator>
<var_separator>,</var_separator>
<!-- Instrumentation -->
<chunk>
<name>indicated-turn-rate</name>
<type>float</type>
<format>%f</format>
<node>/instrumentation/turn-indicator/indicated-turn-rate</node>
</chunk>
</output>
<input>
<line_separator>newline</line_separator>
<var_separator>,</var_separator>
<!-- Flight Controls -->
<chunk>
<name>aileron</name>
<type>float</type>
<node>/controls/flight/aileron</node>
</chunk>
</input>
</generic>
</PropertyList>
Below, The papers can help you, maybe you know them:
