QGC source code explained

[oliver]

Hi everyone.
I am trying t go deep inside the source code of QGC, so i can later build my own application based on some features of the software that i will be choosing based on my needs.
I would like to ask you where can i find i full guide going through the code, in a way that it makes the code clear to me when reading it.
And if there is any advice you could give me, it will be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Does someone know how RTK streaming is implemented in QGroundControl? I could not find any reference to that in the development guide.

I was wondering if there was fixed base station implemented or if it is possible to add that in QGroundControl. This will help me attain the fixed RTK lock soon even if I have to restart QGroundControl.
