Allows users to send winch actions, as well as receive status information from winch systems.
Spool out the entire length of the line.
Sequence of drop, slow down, touch down, reel up, lock.
Engage motor and hold current position.
Load the reel with line. The winch will calculate the total loaded length and stop when the tension exceeds a threshold.
Spools out just enough to present the hook to the user to load the payload.
Perform the locking sequence to relieve motor while in the fully retracted position.
Wind or unwind line at specified rate.
Rate at which to wind or unwind the line
Wind or unwind specified length of line, optionally using specified rate.
Instance ID of the winch addressed by this request
Length of line to unwind or wind
Rate at which to wind or unwind the line
Allow motor to freewheel.
Return the reel to the fully retracted position.

The next 'winch status' state
Status type.
Used in:
Time in usec
Length of the line in meters
Speed in meters per second
Tension in kilograms
Voltage in volts
Current in amperes
Temperature in Celsius
Status flags
Winch Status Flags. The status flags are defined in mavlink https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html#MAV_WINCH_STATUS_FLAG. Multiple status fields can be set simultaneously. Mavlink does not specify which states are mutually exclusive.
Used in:
Winch is healthy
Winch line is fully retracted
Winch motor is moving
Winch clutch is engaged allowing motor to move freely
Winch is locked by locking mechanism
Winch is gravity dropping payload
Winch is arresting payload descent
Winch is using torque measurements to sense the ground
Winch is returning to the fully retracted position
Winch is redelivering the payload. This is a failover state if the line tension goes above a threshold during RETRACTING.
Winch is abandoning the line and possibly payload. Winch unspools the entire calculated line length. This is a failover state from REDELIVER if the number of attempts exceeds a threshold.
Winch is engaging the locking mechanism
Winch is spooling on line
Winch is loading a payload
Winch Action type.
Allow motor to freewheel
Wind or unwind specified length of line, optionally using specified rate
Wind or unwind line at specified rate
