# SEND-MAVLINK-DISTANCE

The SEND-MAVLINK-DISTANCE command enables MAVlink distance messages if the MAVlink interface is enabled. The effect persists across power cycles. The parser is more lenient with the “on” message than the “off” message.

Examples:

SEND-MAVLINK-DISTANCE ON

SEND-MAVLINK-DISTANCE OFF
