Pull request overview
Adds an immediate outgoing MAVLink heartbeat right after creating the MAVLink connection, reducing the time between connection creation and the first GCS heartbeat seen by the vehicle.
Changes:
- Send an initial
HEARTBEATmessage immediately aftermavlink_connection()succeeds. - Log (non-fatal) failures to send that initial heartbeat and proceed to the existing inbound-heartbeat wait loop.
