GotoSetpoint (UORB message)

Position and (optional) heading setpoints with corresponding speed constraints.

Setpoints are intended as inputs to position and heading smoothers, respectively. Setpoints do not need to be kinematically consistent. Optional heading setpoints may be specified as controlled by the respective flag. Unset optional setpoints are not controlled. Unset optional constraints default to vehicle specifications.
