Drone configurations
After assembling the drone, we need to configure it so that it can fly. We’ll need to conduct a series of steps to configure the drone based on AeroGCS. We studied the various options that are available in AeroGCS previously, so here, we’ll quickly go through the process and select the right options for our use case (however, the same process can be configured with Qground Control as well using the Herelink GCS we have selected above):
- Connect the drone via a USB cable.
- Select an airframe:
Figure 12.9 – Selecting an airframe in AeroGCS
Choose the following options:
- Class: Quad
- Type: X (considering the airframe is X-shaped)
Once you click Update, you’ll see the ESCs getting PWM signals.
Next, we will calibrate the sensors.
- First, we must calibrate the accelerometer. We learned about this previously. The SENSORS tab will help us with this:
- Click Calibrate
- Once you...
