Awesome project, and especially awesome README file: good explanations and images!

If I read it right, a way to feed it position data is already integrated in the drone firmware, so you only have to send it the found coordinates and it uses them, correct?

Thanks!

Yep, I'm using Mavlink protocol (specifically ATT_POS_MOCAP message) to feed 3d position to the drone autopilot.
